Researchers identify key role of microRNAs in melanoma metastasis
Researchers at the NYU Cancer Institute, an NCI-designated cancer center at NYU Langone Medical Center, identified for the first time the key role specific microRNAs play in melanoma metastasis to simultaneously cause cancer cells to invade and immunosuppress the human body's ability to fight abnormal cells.
MicroRNAs can move between cells and play a role in their communication.
