UCLA study identifies potential therapeutic targets for metastatic prostate cancer

UCLA researchers, led by Owen Witte– director of the UCLA Broad Stem Cell Research Center and professor of microbiology, immunology and molecular genetics– have pinpointed five specific enzymes called protein kinases that play a role when prostate cancer spreads to bone. The discovery could point the way toward new drugs that slow or stop prostate cancer from spreading.
