Research supported by the JKTG Foundation has been published in the journal Science Translational Medicine.
The research, Triple-negative breast cancer metastasis involves complex epithelial-mesenchymal transition dynamics and requires vimentin, includes work by Andrew Ewald, PhD, with Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, a researcher with whom JKTG has worked on several projects.
The work highlighted in this most recent publication investigates the molecular mechanisms that cause metastasis in triple-negative breast cancer.
Learn more about Dr. Ewald’s work, as well as research from other leading breast cancer researchers, at the Foundation’s Oct. 27 symposium Moving Breast Cancer Treatments Forward. Additional details and registration can be found on the event site.
