Scientists could 'switch off' cancer soon

Scientists claim to have found a way to "switch off" a molecule that is a key player in triggering breast cancer and certain forms of leukaemia. Researchers in Australia have found a way of blocking signals to and from a signaling protein, Gab2 -- the molecule operating downstream of major breast cancer oncogene HER2 -- preventing it from its role in cell proliferation, the EMBO Journal reported.
