Important mechanism behind breast cancer metastasis: 'Architectural' protein helps regulate cell motility and migration

Scientists have identified the protein called palladin as an explanation for how Akt1 can function as a suppressor of breast cancer invasion and metastasis. This new finding reveals another key piece of information as scientists continue their development of targeted cancer therapies, and underscores the importance of dissecting the precise mechanisms by which tumor cells invade and metastasize to distant organs.
