Targeting Milk Production Enzyme To Treat Breast Cancer
Researchers at Virginia Commonwealth University have identified a protein involved in the production of milk that also stimulates the growth and spread of Breast Cancer. They discovered that the enzyme Cyclophilin A regulates the Jak2/Stat5 genetic pathways. This pathway plays a critical role in the natural maturation of mammary glands as well as the development of breast cancer cells. Charles…
