Dynein-Powered Cell Locomotion Guides Metastasis of Breast Cancer

Dynein-Powered Cell Locomotion Guides Metastasis of Breast Cancer

Metastasis of cancer cells is the primary cause of death in cancer patients and continues to be one of the most difficult clinical problems. There are many theories about how metastasis occurs, but the main aspects have been linked to a protein complex, actomyosin, that plays a role in muscle contraction. Actomyosin-driven locomotion depends on…

Strong cation Exchanger (BCX) cited in a study on a radiopharmaceutical for Neuroendocrine tumor

With a growing interest in clinical applications in recent years, the demand for Gallium-68 (68Ga) has also increased. 68Ga-DOTATATE is used as a radiotracer in Positron Emission Tomography (PET) to detect and evaluate cancer-causing Neuroendocrine tumor (NET) cells. A particle accelerator, Cyclotron, is used in generating radioactive isotope 68Ga at a large scale. In a recent study published…
