Research paves way for better drugs for breast cancer
New Delhi, Aug 23: In a study that could help design better drugs for breast cancer, researchers at the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER)-Bhopal have identified the mechanism by which breast cancer cells proliferate and spread. The team studied the regulation of a gene called ‘ESRP1’ in breast cancer. They found that there is a difference in the expression of the ESRP1 gene between normal and tumour tissues of breast cancer patients. The gene was expressed more in breast tumour tissues than normal tissues. They then explored the regulatory mechanism behind this. The expression of a gene…
