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.

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

Higher levels of angiotensin-converting enzyme in men makes them vulnerabl
Updated : 5 years, 10 months ago IST
Massachusetts [USA], May 16 (ANI): Men have higher concentrations of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) in their blood than women, suggests evidence from a large study of several thousand patients. Since ACE2 enables the coronavirus to infect healthy cells, this may help to explain why m

Researchers find new cancer treatments causing no harm to healthy cells
Updated : 6 years, 7 months ago IST
Washington D.C. [USA], Aug 6 (ANI): Scientists have found new cancer therapies that don't have the side effects that oftentimes accompany many current cancer treatments by identifying a protein modification that specifically supports proliferation and survival of tumour cells.
