Obesity is associated with an increased risk of developing breast cancer, and a greater probability for the cancer to spread to other organs – metastasize –. But the causes of this association are ...

CNIO researchers discover that, in mice that eat a lot of fat, cancer cells travelling through the blood surround themselves with platelets, which act as an armor-like protection as they spread. In ...
