UT Health San Antonio study shows Nox4 protein may predict untreatable kidney cancer

(University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio) University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio researchers confirmed the role of a certain protein, Nox4, in the development of high-grade kidney cancer. The researchers also showed that a higher level of the protein can be used as a marker to predict in humans which tumors will develop treatment resistance and progress more rapidly.
