Pre-clinical study finds link between metabolism and protective effect of breastfeeding against breast cancer

A mother’s mitochondria determines if lactation is protective or not against breast cancer—and points to a possible intervention to increase the benefit to more women, according to a pre-clinical study conducted by researchers from The Tisch Cancer Institute at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai.

“Power surges” on cancer cell membranes may fuel progression of disease, Johns Hopkins study finds

In a bid to better understand how cancer cells power their explosive growth and spread, scientists at Johns Hopkins Medicine have shed new light on the location and function of power-generating waves on cancer cell membranes. The scientists say the waves, generated by rhythmic propagation of enzymes that produce energy from glucose, could potentially be used to better stage cancers and as targets for new cancer drugs.
