Interesting, isn't it? I read about it in a Dutch article. They did stress, however, that tampering with this pathway might trigger other unwanted side effects. A lot of research is needed.

Also, lots of things have shown promis in mice. It doesn't automatically mean that it works in humans.

Even so, this is very exciting research and I'm hopeful that this may mean a big step forward. Thank you for posting this Lani, I'm going to copy it to the Breastcancer List.
