<title>Researchers identify potential target to delay metastatic pancreatic cancer</title>
<description><![CDATA[ Researchers from Thomas Jefferson University's Center for Translational Medicine have found that reducing levels of a well-known, cell-surface protein known as N-cadherin in pancreatic cancer cells can interfere with metastasis. The disruption slowed down the pancreatic cancer cells' mobility, they found, and prolonged survival in mice.
