The study analyzed large masses of data from 466 cases of the most common type of breast cancer and provides the first prognostic signature in cancer composed of both mRNA and microRNA.

Since tumors are highly dependent on the transportation of nutrients in order to be able to grow rapidly, the researchers are hoping that their study will form the basis for new strategies to fight cancer cells.

Now a researcher has added to that body of knowledge by determining how stem cells produce different types of “daughter” cells in Drosophila (fruit flies).
