According to Medical Xpress, Komen-funded researchers from the University of Wisconsin-Madison have identified a protein that may help breast cancer cells metastasize to the brain. The researchers found that breast cancer cells harness a protein called alphaB-crystallin to help them stick to endothelial cells that line the small blood vessels in the brain. In addition, this protein enhances the penetration of breast cancer cells through the blood-brain barrier, which normally prevents cells and many molecules from entering the brain. The study was published in Clinical Cancer Research. Read the article at medicalxpress/news/2014-01-scientists-link-protein-breast-cancer.html
