New research from the University of Missouri focused on imaging technology in an animal model has found NR has the potential to increase the prevalence of a particular form of cancer and its metastasis to the brain.
The international team of researchers led by Elena Goun, an associate professor of chemistry at MU, discovered high levels of NR could not only increase someone's risk of developing triple-negative breast cancer, but also could cause cancer to metastasize or spread to the brain.
