UA Researchers Focus on Starving Tumors, Stunting Cancer Growth

A research team at the University of Arizona Cancer Center has discovered a new way of controlling blood vessel growth in tumors, a development that could make it easier to treat cancer patients. Noel Warfel, PhD, assistant professor of cellular molecular medicine at the College of Medicine – Tucson, initiated this project after studying the role of a pro-survival protein, Proviral Insert for the Moloney murine leukemia virus, or PIM1.
