Future treatments for advanced cancer could work by sticking cancer cells in place and preventing their spread around the body. A new study by researchers at the University of California, Davis, and the University of Washington shows how an antibody strengthens bonds between cells. The work is published Aug. 3 in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Sanjeevi Sivasankar’s laboratory recently received a second National Institutes of Health (NIH) R01 grant for research into how cells control adhesion, their ‘stickiness’ to other cells or surfaces.
