For years, scientists have been trying to shut down an especially insidious protein that plays a role in the growth and spread of cancer—but without success. Now, researchers at the University of Bath have discovered a way to stop this protein in its tracks. In what has been described as a landmark study, their approach could open up a whole new world of cancer treatments. Let’s take a closer look.Why it’s a big dealIf you imagine cancer as a rogue building project—where certain workers (proteins) keep telling cells to build and grow, even when they shouldn’t—one of the wor…
