Study finds common mechanism tumours use to suppress immune responses
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
A Ludwig Cancer Research study has revealed a single protein expressed at high levels by cancer cells across a broad range of malignancies that erects a multifaceted barrier to anti-cancer immune responses in mouse models of cancer and so shields tumours from immune detection and destruction

Study finds level of copper in tumour cells
Updated : 3 years, 4 months ago IST
Cancer cells require proteins that bind copper ions in order to develop and spread throughout the human body. Recent studies on the interactions between proteins and how they bind to metals in cancer-related proteins have revealed possible new therapeutic targets.

Researchers discover how cancer cells 'decide' to grow, spread
Updated : 3 years, 4 months ago IST
A recent study has found that membrane voltage being higher than in healthy cells it also fluctuates over time - with breast cancer cells behaving much like neurons.

Researchers find why Cancer cells require proteins, copper
Updated : 3 years, 4 months ago IST
Study revealed why metal copper are required by human cells to perform essential biological functions. The conclusion drawn from studies demonstrating higher copper levels in tumor cells and blood serum from cancer patients is that cancer cells require more copper than healthy cells.

Researchers reveal level of copper in tumor cells
Updated : 3 years, 4 months ago IST
Small amounts of the metal copper are required by human cells to perform essential biological functions. The conclusion drawn from studies demonstrating higher copper levels in tumor cells and blood serum from cancer patients is that cancer cells require more copper than healthy cells.

Sugar molecules as a target in cancer therapy: Research
Updated : 3 years, 4 months ago IST
Cancer cells use sugar molecules on their surface to disable attacks by the body's immune system. Researchers at the University of Basel now report on how this mechanism can be neutralized.

Scientists discover how cancer cells exposed to high viscosity move better
Updated : 3 years, 4 months ago IST
The human body is made up of more than a billion cells that join to form the tissues and organs of our bodies. However, cells are dynamic structures that, using different techniques, move through the body to fulfil various functions, such as close wounds or carry nutrients to other tissues.

Study finds extracellular fluid association with spread of cancer
Updated : 3 years, 4 months ago IST
Study revealed a unique mechanism that promotes cancer cell spread, as well as providing a foundation for future research that may eventually lead to the discovery of possible new targets to combat cancer metastasis.
