(Phys.org)—Researchers from several institutions have found that copper trafficking chaperones are a good target for suppressing tumor growth without affecting healthy cells.
When scientists develop cancer therapies, they target the features that make the disease deadly: tumor growth, metastasis, recurrence and drug resistance. In epithelial cancers—cancers of the breast, ovaries, prostate, ...
