Image: Shown here is a tumor that metastasized from its original site in the prostate to the lung. Researchers were surprised to find the Myc protein in these tumors and, through further experiments, discovered that simply increasing the amount of Myc in the cell was enough to drive metastasis, suggesting a druggable target for metastatic prostate cancer (Photo courtesy of Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory).

The MYC Oncogene Initiates and Maintains Metastasis in Mouse Prostate Cancer Model

A mouse metastatic prostate cancer model is expected to enable researchers to better investigate the causes of the disease while at the same time test new therapeutics to treat it.  More...
