Researchers develop new genetic model to decode breast cancer metastasis

A team of U.S. researchers has developed a new genetic model for breast cancer, potentially paving the way for better understanding of how and where the disease metastasizes. Professor Eran Andrechek of Michigan State University has been investigating the E2F5 gene and its involvement in breast cancer development. According to Andrechek’s findings, the loss of E2F5 disrupts the regulation of Cyclin D1, a protein associated with metastatic breast tumors after prolonged latency. Published in t...
