Protein linked to Breast Cancer

A recent study has reveal that a protein called alphaB-crystallin can trigger events that may cause breast cancer. This protein normally protects cells from stress damage: "The researchers found that women whose breast tumors express the alphaB-crystallin protein have a shorter survival, suggesting that alphaB-crystallin may be a useful molecular marker to identify women with aggressive breast cancer and to develop new targeted cancer therapies."
