Nature Study: New Mechanism for Cancer Cell Growth Identified by IU School of Medicine

This article, published on July 24, 2019, by the Indiana University School of Medicine, discusses a significant study published in 'Nature'. The research, led by Dr. Rajan Gogna and supported by Dr. Harikrishna Nakshatri and others, sheds light on how cancer cells grow aggressively. It reveals a mechanism where cells expressing 'winner' forms of the Flower gene cause neighboring 'loser' cells to die, thus giving the 'winner' cells a growth advantage in tumors. This discovery opens potential pathways to make tumors more susceptible to chemotherapy.
