Scientists Discover Protein That Could Help Stop Aggressive Prostate Cancer

The research, published in Molecular Cancer, reveals that stimulating the GP130 signaling pathway not only slows tumor growth but also helps the body's immune system better fight cancer cells. "What makes this discovery particularly exciting is that it completely reverses our previous understanding of how to target this pathway in cancer treatment," explains lead researcher Dr. Lukas Kenner. "We've found that activating GP130, which goes against current treatment strategies, actually produces better outcomes in prostate cancer patients." The team's research showed that patients
