CD44 is a membrane receptor found in various types of cells in our body. This receptor binds mainly to hyaluronic acid (HA). The interaction of HA with CD44 induces changes that trigger rapid growth (proliferation) of cancer cells. Inhibition of this interaction could therefore interrupt tumour … [Leer más...] about Design and study of new drugs with possible antitumor activity – Noelia Ruiz Cuevas
