Cells in our bodies are able to accomplish an impressive array of functions. Diffusible factors (called growth factors) are important in regulating diverse cellular functions. We have identified a new molecular switch inside cells that acts as a master controller of cellular functions. This molecular switch relays information to instruct specific cellular functions. We have shown that these molecular switches are short-circuited in breast cancer promoting cell growth and survival.
