Tumor Spheroids Reveal Clues to Targeting Invasive Breast Cancers
Researchers Natalie Falkenberg and Nataša Anastasov of the Helmholtz Zentrum München published results recently in the journal Molecular Oncology, identifying a novel therapeutic strategy for the treatment of breast cancers co-overexpressing HER2 and the protein tyrosine kinase 6 (PTK6). Find the abstract here. Dr. Anastasov is no stranger to the benefits of GravityPLUS™ technology, having recently contributed an application note describing RNAi-mediated sensitization of breast cancer cells to our library. The Helmholtz duo will be presenting recent work in two posters at the 2015 AACR Annual Meeting in Philadelphia, PA later this month.
