"Freezing" Key Molecule Halts Spread of Brain Cancer Cells
A research team at the University of Cambridge has discovered that “freezing” a key molecule in the brain, hyaluronic acid, can effectively stop the spread of brain cancer cells. This breakthrough may open new avenues for brain cancer treatment. Hyaluronic acid, a sugar-like polymer, forms most of the brain’s supporting structure. By immobilizing it in place and restricting its flexibility, cancer cells are prevented from moving and invading surrounding tissues, thereby curbing their spread environmentally.
