Role of HDAC6 and its novel substrate cortactin in ovarian cancer cell motility

HDACs are a group of enzymes that regulate cell growth and migration, and hence are likely involved with the metastases of ovarian cancer. This study will examine the role between these enzymes and the molecular events of cancer spread and growth, which could lead to more effective therapy.
