npj Breast Cancer, VCU Massey Cancer Center researcher Charles Clevenger, M.D., Ph.D., and his lab discovered a new, altered form of the prolactin receptor called the human prolactin receptor intermediate isoform (hPRLrI) that directly drives breast cancer. The researchers observed that this modified version of the prolactin receptor interacted with other forms of the receptor to
