Two critical properties of cancer cells are their ability to divide without restraint and to spread away from the primary tumour to establish new tumour sites. Now, researchers from the Mayo Clinic campus in Florida have found a protein they say acts as a deadly master switch, both freeing cancer cells from a tumour while ramping up new growth...
