molecule called MALAT1 (IMAGE) Penn State Caption A Penn State-led research team found that a molecule called MALAT1 helps regulate the cells that lead cancer invasion. The top row shows bladder cancer cells with MALAT1 expression, while the bottom row shows bladder cancer cells with reduced MALAT1 expression. In the top row, the cells are beginning their migration away from the tumor, while the bottom row shows no such migration. Credit Wong Lab/Penn State.
