Researchers have found that a protein discovered by his laboratory can inhibit the growth of breast cancer cells. Building upon the earlier discovery of nischarin, a novel protein that regulates breast cancer cell migration and movement, a new study examined the presence and levels of nischarin in breast cancer tumor tissue from 300 women as well as normal breast tissue samples. The researchers also generated derivatives of human metastatic breast cancer cells to test by manipulating the protein in a mouse model.
