Natural defense mechanism may help slow down tumor cell metastasis

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet, led by Dr. Helin Norberg and Dr. Erik Norberg, have identified a previously unknown mechanism that affects the ability of cancer cells to spread in the body. The study, published in EMBO Molecular Medicine, shows that a process called chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA) may function as a natural defense mechanism against metastases.
