DNA 'Switch' Uncovers New Brake on Breast Cancer Growth

DNA 'switch' uncovers new brake on breast cancer growth

Adelaide University researchers have found a DNA "switch" that helps the body stop the growth of the most common form of breast cancer, providing new insights that could help with future treatments. Up to 80% of breast cancer cases are classified as estrogen receptor-positive (ER+)—meaning their growth is driven by the hormone estrogen.

New Clue Shows How Male Hormones May Slow Breast Cancer

A gene long credited with fighting breast cancer barely mattered in lab tests. A hidden bit of DNA inside it proved critical.

DNA Regulatory Switch Helps Androgen Receptor Suppress Breast Cancer Cell

Researchers have discovered a regulatory DNA enhancer switch inside the ZBTB16 gene that enables the androgen receptor to suppress cell growth in oestrogen receptor-positive breast cancer.
