Novel structure found in tumor cells may open door to new kinds of cancer therapies  

In 2015, researchers at UC San Francisco found a structure inside of tumor cells that biologists had never seen before. Even more surprising, a closer examination of the structure revealed that it contained signaling proteins known as receptor tyrosine kinases, or RTKs, which were thought to reside exclusively on the cell’s surface. The researchers reported the existence of the novel structures, but their exact identity and function remained elusive.
