Washington, Apr 29 : Scientists from Western Australian Institute for Medical Research (WAIMR) have identified what they called a ‘Pied Piper’ molecule that can offer a key in treating prostate, breast and colon cancers as well as leukemia.
The molecule within blood cells, called Liar, leads other molecules into the nucleus of the cell.
Associate Professor Ingley said the findings were a leap forward in the understanding of how blood cells develop and divide, which could offer them a key to turning off cancerous cell growth.
