Nestin: A Biomarker for Basal Epithelial Breast Cancer
Filed in archive Diagnostics, Methodologies and Instrumentation , Genomics, Proteomics and Bioinformatics by ruth on January 16, 2007

"Normal basal epithelial tissue produces nestin, but basal epithelial tumors produce a tremendous amount of nestin, which likely represents an abnormal expansion of the basal epithelia." DiRenzo said. "If it is indeed specific to regenerative cells, then it will make for an excellent diagnostic tool for a cancer of regenerative mammary cells."Read more from the American Association for Cancer Research, or see the January 15 issue of the Cancer Research journal.
