I found this VERY exciting as the research dr expects trials to begin in just a couple of years....
The results, compared to control mice also infected with human metastatic breast cancer cells, were dramatic.
Between 125 and 160 metastatic nodules formed in each lung of all the control mice. But in the rodents in which SATB1 was suppressed, the number was between zero and five.
Kohwi-Shigematsu is working on a means for delivering an inhibitor via microscopic nanocapsules, and said trials on humans could start within a couple of years. Prognostic tools could be available within a year.
