18-year-old California student Jonathan Yan studied 479 human cancer cell lines and found that blocking the transsulfuration pathway stopped cancer cells from spreading

An eighteen-year-old student has identified a biological pathway crucial for cancer metastasis. Jonathan Yan's research found the transsulfuration pathway highly active in spreading cancer cells. Blocking this pathway stopped cancer cell movement in his studied cell lines. His significant findings earned him a finalist position in a national science competition. This discovery offers new avenues for understanding and potentially limiting cancer's spread.
