It's🎄so time to look back at the incredible work of CRUK researchers. In the summer Dr Kevin Myant
@uoe-igc.bsky.social
discovered bowel cancer cells "shapeshift" to make them tougher and better able to spread. This will help find new treatments for cancer

Fascinating research from Dr Kevin Myant's team funded by Cancer Research UK has discovered bowel cancer cells can mimic skin cells to allow them to spread around the body - hopefully this can help find a way to stop this "shapeshifting" and prevent metastasis when cancer becomes harder to treat!
