ICRF-Funded Research Uncovers New Pathway Driving Aggressive Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Research led by Prof. Idan Cohen, a former grant recipient who received an ICRF Research Career Development Award, along with colleagues at Ben-Gurion University, recently published online in Nature Communications, sheds new light on squamous cell carcinoma. The study reveals how cancer-driving changes disrupt the systems that regulate gene activity and make tumors more aggressive. Restoring these controls slowed cancer progression, pointing to a promising new therapeutic strategy.
