Updated : 5 months, 1 week ago IST
Laboratory experiments with cancer cells reveal two ways in which tumors evade drugs designed to starve and kill them, a new study shows. While chemotherapy successfully treats tumours and extends patients' lives, it is known that they do not work for everyone for long, since cancer cells re

Neural stem cells help maintain their microenvironment: Study
Updated : 2 years, 12 months ago IST
When it comes to cell kinds, stem cells essentially have limitless potential. These self-renewing cells, which may give birth to every cell type in the body, live in niches, which are specialised microenvironments. Researchers in Japan have now thrown fresh light on the dynamics of the neura

Study suggests protein plays a key role in immunotherapy
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
The study found protein is crucial in helping malignancies avoid immune attacks. The "fragile X mental retardation protein" (FMRP) is a protein that controls a network of genes and cells in the tumor microenvironment that help the tumor "hidden" from immune cells.
