The researchers took advantage of the property of tumor cells to adapt dynamically to changing conditions. Using two established drugs, they could re-differentiate cancer cells to non-dividing fat cells.
The therapy fully prevented the formation of metastases in mice, as recently reported in the journal Cancer Cell.
