Novel molecular pathway in cancer offers potential therapeutic targets

24 April 2017 | By Niamh Marriott (Drug Target Review)

The gene MAFK is known to be induced by the TGF-β signalling pathway, which is involved in breast cancer development. Scientists reported that the MAFK protein, in turn, induced cancerous behaviours in cells by switching on the breast cancer-associated gene GPNMB. MAFK thus represents a link between TGF-β signalling and…
