Study identifies mechanism otherwise found in metastasizing cancer cells
Updated : 3 years, 5 months ago IST
Washington [US], October 15 (ANI): Cancer cells use an unusual mechanism to migrate into new tissue and form metastases there. The same process probably also keeps some immune cells on their toes. According to the study, certain structures, the centrioles, increase in number. This makes it e

Updated : 3 years, 5 months ago IST
Heidelberg [Germany], September 19 (ANI): When free radicals become uncontrollable and destroy the protective cell membrane in a chain reaction, a cell dies of ferroptosis. When healthy cells are subjected to oxidative stress, they are occasionally damaged. Cancer cells, in particular, are v

Research finds therapeutic drugs can render cancer cells weaponless
Updated : 3 years, 6 months ago IST
Bonn [Germany], August 28 (ANI): The protective scent that tumour cells spray themselves with suppresses the immune system. It seems, however, that a medicine that has already been approved for other uses can render this weapon harmless.

Study: Therapeutic drug can render cancer cells
Updated : 3 years, 6 months ago IST
Bonn [Germany], August 26 (ANI): The immune system is suppressed by the protective scent that many tumour cells spray themselves with. However, it appears that a medicine that has already been approved for other uses can render this weapon harmless. A study from the University of Bonn and th

Research: Fibroblasts connected to cancer increase drug sensitivity
Updated : 3 years, 6 months ago IST
Washington [US], August 21 (ANI): Despite some studies suggesting that these fibroblasts may also make cancer cells more sensitive to therapy, cancer-associated fibroblasts in the tumour environment have typically been linked to tumour progression and resistance to therapy.

Researchers find cancer-related fibroblasts induce drug sensitivity
Updated : 3 years, 7 months ago IST
Washington [US], August 17 (ANI): Cancer-associated fibroblasts in the tumour environment have typically been associated with tumour progression and resistance to therapy, despite some studies suggesting that these fibroblasts may also sensitize cancer cells to therapy.
