AND 'CAN STOP THE SPREAD OF BREAST CANCER STEM
According Charlotte Kuperwasser, who coordinated the study was crucial to find that estrogen may promote the growth of breast cancer by modulating the proportion of stem cells in breast cancer. The researchers also discovered that cancer cells can communicate with sensitivity to tumor stem cells to regulate their numbers. Perto interrupting the interaction between populations of cancer cells was able to prevent tumor growth. Kuperwasser and researchers at MIT and Harvard have used a mouse model to examine the behavior of human breast tumor tissue using a method that mimics the human body better than in other mouse models the standard. The researchers first examined the effects of estrogen on the growth of stem cells for breast cancer, finding that hormones cause a 800% increase in the number of stem cells 'bad'. Stem cells in breast cancer have few receptors for estrogen and for this the researchers now suspect that the action of estrogen through a reporting mechanism from neighboring cells that express the receptors.
