How a cell lifts anchors: Czech–British team uncovers a mechanism that could help slow tumour spread
An international research team led by Zuzana Kadlecová from the Faculty of Medicine, Masaryk University, and the Cambridge Institute for Medical Research has described how a cell releases itself from the surrounding tissue and sets off on its journey. The study, published in the prestigious journal Nature Communications, overturns the established view of the enzyme AAK1 and opens the door to drugs that could specifically slow the movement of cancer cells without disrupting other vital cellular functions.
