CRISPR study identifies gene involved in metastasis of cancers to the lungs

23 March 2021

New research from scientists at the Wellcome Sanger Institute has shown a gene not previously linked to cancer plays a key role in the spread of certain cancers to the lungs. The team found that when the gene LRRN4CL was over-expressed in mice, the skin cancer melanoma was more likely to metastasise to the lungs. The study, […]
