    Insc:LGN tetramers revert breast cancer stem cell expansion by promoting asymmetric cell divisions

    Insc:LGN tetramers revert breast cancer stem cell expansion by promoting asymmetric cell divisions Jun 27, 2019

    In stem cells, asymmetric cell division (ACD) generates two distinct cells: a stem cell, and a cell committed to differentiate. Defects in this delicate and extremely coordinated process can cause cell over-proliferation and cancer. How stem cell ACDs are executed remains largely unclear. The knowledge of the architecture of key ACD players constitutes a remarkable advance in the understanding of the operational principles of asymmetric divisions. An international research group determined ...
