A novel cell signalling route was discovered by researchers at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Centre that may one day be used as a therapeutic target for people with aggressive pancreatic cancer.
Acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) is a blood cancer that causes an uncontrollable buildup of white blood cells. Due to the poor outcomes of this disease, researchers all over the world have been looking for new ways to treat AML while still allowing normal blood development to occur.
Personalization of cancer treatments has long been a goal--finding the right drugs that work for a patient's specific tumour based on specific genetic and molecular patterns. Many of these targeted therapies are highly effective, but they are not available for all cancers, including NSCLCs w
A mechanism has been identified by researchers from the University of Michigan Rogel Cancer Center that explains why some patients' cancers grow in response to immunotherapy rather than shrinking.
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is an umbrella term for two diseases, Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, that are characterized by the prolonged inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. This condition often leads to the development of colorectal tumors. Understanding the pathogenesi
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.
A recent study has found that membrane voltage being higher than in healthy cells it also fluctuates over time - with breast cancer cells behaving much like neurons.
Study revealed why 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.
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.
