Mechanism Used By Gene To Promote Metastasis In Human Cancer Cells Identified

Published on Wednesday, 1 October 2008 17:00 from ScienceDaily

Researchers have discovered how a gene, melanoma differentiation associated gene-9/syntenin (mda-9/syntenin), interacts with an important signaling protein to promote metastasis in human melanoma cells, a discovery that could one day lead to the development of the next generation of anti-metastatic drugs for melanoma and other cancers.
