The cancer gene MYC is among the most commonly overexpressed oncogenes in human cancers. Scientists at The Wistar Institute have now shown that MYC activates a gene called MTA1, which has been demonstrated by other researchers to regulate metastasis in a variety of cancers. The study adds to the emerging picture of MYC's role in cancer and identifies the pathway linking MYC and MTA1 as an area for further exploration into the genetics of metastasis.
