Cancer cells ‘remove blindfold’ to spread: Scientists discover key ability that helps cancer cells to spread more efficiently – Science Daily
Cells are effectively ‘blindfolded’ as they lose sensitivity to their surroundings early in cancer progression, but scientists used a new method to find some cancer…
Cancer cells spread by switching on and off abilities to sense their surroundings, move, hide and grow new tumours, a new study has found.This sensitivity to their surroundings is the key ability that makes small numbers of cancer cells better at spreading than other cells in a tumour, scientists at the University of Reading discovered.
