Researchers' Work from Shantou University Focuses on Cancer (A Protein Complex of Lcn2, Loxl2 and Mmp9 Facilitates Tumour Metastasis In Oesophageal Cancer).

A recent study conducted at Shantou University in China focused on the role of a protein complex consisting of Lcn2, Loxl2, and Mmp9 in facilitating tumor metastasis in esophageal cancer. The researchers found that this complex promoted the migration and invasion of cancer cells and malignant tumor progression through multiple mechanisms. The study suggests that targeting this protein complex could be a potential therapeutic strategy for treating esophageal cancer. The research was supported by grants from the National Natural Science Foundation of China and the Science and Technology Program of Guangdong. [Extracted from the article]
