The groundbreaking study identified a protein, known as
cadherin - 22, as a potential factor in cancer metastasis, or spread, and showed that hindering it decreased the adhesion and invasion rate of breast and brain cancer cells
by up to 90 per cent.

by collaborating with Indian scientists, «we discovered that the same
cadherin gene is associated with the resistance in India, but the mutations are different and much more numerous than the ones we found in lab - selected pink bollworm from Arizona.»

cadherin block this binding, which leaves the insect unscathed
by the Bt toxin.
The researchers learned that the astonishing diversity of
cadherin in pink bollworm from India is caused
by alternative splicing, a novel mechanism of resistance that allows a single DNA sequence to code for many variants of a protein.
