Study uses cancer cells as logic gates to find out what makes them move
Updated : 3 years, 1 month ago IST
Cancer cells migrate through the body for a variety of reasons; some simply follow the flow of a fluid, while others actively follow chemical trails. So, how do you figure out which cells are shifting and why? Researchers at Purdue University reverse-engineered a cellular signal processing s

Physicists model cell migration to learn how cancer cells navigate tissue
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
This migration mode is one of the ways cancer cells navigate tissue during metastasis. In a new study researchers have explored mesenchymal migration through cell simulations and mathematical modeling. Their aim: to learn more about how cancer cells size up surrounding tissue for stiffness a

Researchers identify immune cell that helps kill bladder cancer tumors
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
Mount Sinai researchers have made two important discoveries about the mechanism by which bladder cancer cells foil attacks from the immune system. The research, published in Cancer Cell in September, could lead to a new therapeutic option for patients with these types of tumors.

Cellular messengers improve cancer therapy: Research
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
Nano-sized membrane bubbles known as extracellular vesicles activate the immune system in mice and seem to render their tumours sensitive to a type of immunotherapy drug called a checkpoint inhibitor. This is according to a new study published in Cancer Immunology Research by researchers at

Researchers discover artificial DNA to locate, eliminate cancer cells
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
Researchers have developed a brand-new method for locating and eliminating cancer cells by using synthetic DNA. The procedure was successful in lab tests against cells generated from human cervical cancer, human breast cancer, and mouse malignant melanoma.
