Story summary

Professor Kwang-Hyun Cho of Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) leads a team that identifies a molecular switch to reverse cancer cells to a normal state during the normal-to-cancer transition.
The team uses single-cell RNA sequencing data to build a gene network model.
Their findings, published in Advanced Science, show the method suppresses cancer cell proliferation.
The approach restores normal traits and may guide therapies for various cancers.
