NUI Galway scientists make breakthrough in study of aggressive breast cancer

The research focuses on cell behaviour in triple negative breast cancer, for which there are no targeted therapies available, and accounts for about 15% of all breast cancers diagnosed, especially in younger women.
Scientists at NUI Galway have made a breakthrough finding in the field of breast cancer research.
The team at the Apoptosis Research Centre have discovered how cells related to one of the most aggressive forms of breast cancer can rewire themselves to have a better chance of surviving and spreading to other sites in the body.
