Leiden chemists, together with colleagues at the University of York (UK) and Technion (Israel) have discovered a small, sugar-like molecule that maintains the integrity of tissue around a tumor during cancer. This molecule prevents tumor cells from spreading from the primary cancer site to colonize other sites in the body. The multidisciplinary international team published their research in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
