Mitochondrial Gene RTN4IP1 Drives Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Metastasis

According to research published in the Chinese Medical Journal, a mitochondrial matrix protein known as RTN4IP1 drives the progression and metastasis of triple-negative breast cancer by disrupting cellular energy metabolism. Triple-negative breast cancer accounts for roughly 15% of all breast cases and lacks estrogen, progesterone, and HER2 receptors, leaving patients with high risks of recurrence … Read more
