KLF5 has emerged as a powerful driver of pancreatic cancer spread by altering how genes are activated, not by mutating DNA. Targeting this gene could offer a new way to slow or stop metastasis. Credit: AI/ScienceDaily.com Scientists at Johns Hopkins Medicine have identified a gene that appears to play a major role in how pancreatic cancer spreads. In laboratory-grown cells, the gene KLF5 (Krueppel-like factor 5) was found to fuel tumor growth and invasion not by changing the DNA sequence itself,
