📄 PAPER HIGHLIGHT Australian scientists have found a molecular "brake" that stops triple-negative breast cancer from spreading - and shown that a drug already used in the clinic can put that brake back on. 🔗 doi.org/10.1038/s44321-026-0… #metastasis #OzMRS @dr_phil_gregory
Metastasis of triple negative breast cancer is regulated by a targetable miR-342-E2F network

Metastasis of triple negative breast cancer is regulated by a targetable miR-342-E2F network

EMBO Molecular Medicine - Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) has a high incidence of metastasis and limited therapeutic options. Here, we identify a multimodal and targetable miR-342-E2F network...
