Study: Spread of cancer gets constrained by high cell membrane tension
Updated : 4 years, 4 months ago IST
Washington [US], November 14 (ANI): A recent research collaboration has discovered that cancer invasion and migration can be suppressed in mice by manipulating the stiffness of the cell membrane. The membranes of cancer cells are more pliant than the membranes of normal cells.

Sponges can tell us about evolution of brain: Study
Updated : 4 years, 4 months ago IST
Berlin [Germany], November 13 (ANI): The neurons in a brain communicate via synapses. These connections between cells lie at the heart of brain function and are regulated by several different genes. Sponges do not have these synapses, but their genome still encodes many of the synaptic genes
