If cancer cells detach from neighboring cells,what is a likely outcome of this event?
A)loss of desmosomes
B)loss of surface hormone receptors
C)loss of G-proteins
D)loss of second messenger molecules

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Desmosomes are cell junctions that link neighboring cells together and provide structural support. If cancer cells detach from neighboring cells, it is likely that the desmosomes have been lost, leading to decreased structural support between cells. Loss of surface hormone receptors, G-proteins, and second messenger molecules are not directly related to cell-cell detachment.
