Abstract

Our recent study suggests that targeting GD3 synthase (also known as ST8SIA1)-the rate-limiting enzyme in biosynthesis of the breast cancer stem cell marker GD2-abrogates metastasis and depletes the cancer stem cell populations within a tumor, thus providing an effective therapeutic strategy against metastatic breast cancers.
