Cancer: Key mechanism in the control of cell motility revealed

ScienceDaily (2010-10-28) -- Scientists have identified a novel molecular mechanism in the control of cell motility. This research could eventually lead to the development of new cancer-treating drugs that could block the spread of tumors (metastasis).

科學家發現全新的[控制細胞移動]的分子機制，可能導致發現新的治癌用藥，可藉以抑止住腫瘤的擴散。
