A study based on animal observations in mice and computer imaging systems from the University of Michigan and other institutions has found that when researchers eliminate COL1A1 production from tumor cells, animal models with brain tumors may live longer,28 which showed COL1A1 as a feasible target to disrupt tumor progression in the latest spatiotemporal analysis study of glioma heterogeneity. Here, COL1A1 is linked to central nervous system cancer.
