How cancer-related proteins lose inhibition: Finding may lead to better understanding and earlier detection of breast cancer

A new technique that searches blood for the tiniest remnants of broken down proteins has revealed new information about how cells crank up cancer activators plasmin and thrombin. The results improve researchers' understanding of the mechanics of breast cancer and point to where to look for possible indicators of early disease. The research shows previously unknown contributing factors to protease activation, which helps spread cancer.
