Niece Kandice in the journal “Cell”

Congrats to my niece Kandice for having an article published in the journal “Cell“. “Cell” is one of the most respected journals in the field of science, (according to Kandice’s husband Ilya, who as someone in the industry I completely believe), and Kandice was the lead author.  The name of the article is  “Matrix Crosslinking Forces Tumor Progression by Enhancing Integrin Signaling”.

Kandice will have to translate that into human like me terms that all of us can understand. The article is mentioned at the BBC website http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/8369377.stm, although one of the persons mentioned in the article was not the lead author and did not “lead the research.” Small details.  The important fact is that Kandice and others are moving closer to finding a cure for breast cancer, and as Ilya has stated, Kandice has achieved what very very VERY few in science ever do…

Congratulations, Kandice, and keep up the good work!
