The Murphy group published a paper with implications for cancer research today in the U.S. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. It describes a new method for identifying proteins that differ significantly in subcellular location between normal and cancerous tissue and applies it to images of four human tissues from the Human Protein Atlas. The proteins identified may help improve cancer detection and diagnosis, and may increase our understanding of the oncogenic process.
