    Researchers at McGill University have discovered the proteins that drive cancer stem cells


    Due to its resistance to treatment, glioblastoma is the most common and aggressive brain tumor in adults


    Researchers say that no matter how low the weeds are cut, if the roots are not uprooted, the weeds will grow back


    Find the source of the problem

    The researchers said that in all cancer cells, some cells play the role of stem cells, capable of self-replication and maintain the growth of cancer cells, just like normal stem cells usually renew and maintain our organs and tissues


    "Our findings surprised us


    The researchers discovered that a protein called galectin 1 interacts with another protein called HOXA5 to control the genetic programs that drive cancer stem cell behavior


    The researchers also analyzed the patient database and found that glioblastoma patients with low expression of galectin1 and HOXA5 proteins have the best prognosis


    Paved the way for new treatments

    This discovery reveals the mechanism that regulates cancer stem cells
