Dogs help in breast carcinoma research
Cancer of the mammary glands in dogs is very similar to human breast carcinoma. For this reason, treatment methods from human medicine are often used for dogs.

Novel molecular pathway in cancer offers potential therapeutic targets
The gene MAFK is known to be induced by the TGF-β signalling pathway, which is involved in breast cancer development. Scientists reported that the MAFK protein, in turn, induced cancerous behaviours in cells by switching on the breast cancer-associated gene GPNMB. MAFK thus represents a link between TGF-β signalling and…
