Protein found that can Regulate Cellular Trafficking, Potential for Anti-Cancer Therapy

As per a Molecular microbiologists research conducted at the University of Southern California have found regulatory mechanisms within the cell. This could lead to novel therapeutics for the treatment of deadly cancer and other dangerous diseases. This is a big step in field of medical world. The medical practitioners could save many patients from deadly diseases. According to the principal researcher Chengyu Liang, M.D., Ph.D., a member of the USC Norris Comprehensive Cancer Center, "Our research reveals a new regulatory mechanism that coordinates two distinct intracellular processes that are critical to cellular homeostasis and disease development. Given that the ER-Golgi network is often dismantled in malignant conditions and that UVRAG is intensively involved in different types of human cancers, this study gives us a new avenue to investigate anti-cancer agents that target UVRAG and/or the ER-Golgi pathway in cancer and other relevant diseases.”
