Study sheds light on molecular mechanism that prevents cancer
Updated : 2 years, 9 months ago IST
Researchers have identified a key process in cell death that prevents cancer from spreading through a distinct molecular mechanism of the disease's early stages. The study was published in 'Science Advances'.

Study suggests how tumour cells become resistant to chemotherapy
Updated : 3 years ago IST
A new weapon in the arsenal of cancer cells' treatment resistance, according to a study conducted by the Garvan Institute of Medical Research, is the ability for them to respond randomly to chemotherapy.

Researchers reveal why some tumour cells become resistant to chemotherapy
Updated : 3 years ago IST
According to recent research led by the Garvan Institute of Medical Research, cancer cells have an inbuilt randomness in their capacity to respond to chemotherapy, which is another weapon in their treatment resistance toolbox.

Research sheds light on therapeutic strategy to kill cancer cells
Updated : 3 years, 1 month ago IST
Cancer is a disease driven by gene mutations. These mutated genes in cancer fall into two major categories: tumour suppressors and oncogenes. Mutations in tumour suppressor genes can allow tumours to grow unchecked - a case of no brakes - while mutations in oncogenes can activate cell prolif
