Description

Yiwen Jiang leads a team on a gene switch that drives bowel cancer. Their study from twenty twenty-five deals with LBX2, a growth control factor. Bowel cancer is a top cause of cancer death world wide.

Cutting LBX2 slowed cancer growth in lab and in mice. Gene tests found a direct target that lifts sugar use paths. That path boosts a growth hub and makes more lactate. Lactate then marks genes to raise LBX2 yet more. The loop feeds itself and speeds the cancer on. High LBX2 tumors may fall to a sugar block drug.
