To survive and grow, they must find ways to get these essential nutrients, such as glucose and amino acids. They discovered that a protein called integrin a2b1, found on the surface of cells, helps breast cancer cells do this. This research could uncover a cancer-specific process which may lead to the development of treatments that come with fewer side effects for patients, as healthy cells won’t be affected.
Tracy Nicholls, 60, from Sheffield, was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2020 after attending a routine mammogram appointment.
