Research shows that a mutation in a single gene may be a way for researchers to identify tumors that are likely to respond to statin therapy. Carol Prives and her team at Columbia University devised an experiment to study cancer cells grown in an artificial system that resembles the three-dimensional structures in a human breast. The researchers learned that cells carrying...
