Breast Cancer Breakthrough: P53 Protein Regulates Key Gene, Offering New Treatment Avenues
The researchers investigated how the P53 protein affects the expression of the SLUG gene in human breast cells. They found that P53 may upregulate SLUG in certain types of breast cells. By studying this relationship, they aim to understand how these proteins are connected in breast cancer development. The study was supported by grants from the National Cancer Institute and the Department of Defense.
