New Cancer Target Boosts Immune System Attack

by

Researchers at the University of Illinois Chicago have identified a molecular switch, the ion channel protein KCNMB1, that regulates cancer cell stiffness. By activating this pathway, scientists can make metastatic cells more rigid, rendering them vulnerable to destruction by the immune system, according to a study published in the journal Developmental Cell. The Physics of … Read more
