Article Synopsis
- The EphA2 receptor, a part of the Eph family of receptors, is found in higher amounts in many types of cancer, including breast and lung cancer.
- Scientists created special versions of the EphA2 receptor to see how it affects tumor growth, finding that when the receptor doesn't work properly, tumors grow smaller and less likely to spread.
- The findings suggest that the EphA2 receptor's activity is important for making tumors worse, especially because it helps cancer cells move and grow.
