Scientists find genes that help cancer cells to penetrate brain

Tumour cells are known to enter the brain both through dense contacts between the cells of the tunicae and through these cells themselves In the first case, cancer cells use enzymes and/or microRNAs to disrupt the structure of the dense contacts and increase the permeability of the BBB Another protein, placental growth factor, triggers a chain of reactions to facilitate the development of metastases in lung, gastric or colorectal cancer
