MIT biologists discover cellular pathway that triggers colon cancer spread
MIT biologists have identified a cellular pathway controlled by the protein YAP1 that facilitates the spread of colorectal cancer to other organs. This discovery provides a potential target for future cancer treatments aimed at preventing metastasis.
Why it matters
Understanding the mechanisms of cancer metastasis is critical for developing therapies to improve survival rates for patients with advanced colon cancer.
