Scientists identify protein that's crucial to tumor cells' metabolism
Updated : 3 years, 1 month ago IST
Tumor cells typically alter their energy metabolism and increase glucose uptake to support their rapid division and spread. This limits glucose availability for immune cells and therefore dampens the body's anti-cancer immune response.

Researchers reveal therapeutic strategy to kill cancer cell
Updated : 3 years, 1 month ago IST
Gene mutations are the cause of cancer. Tumor suppressors and oncogenes are the two main groups of these altered genes in cancer. Mutations in oncogenes can drive cell proliferation, pushing the gas pedal all the way to the floor, whereas mutations in tumour suppressor genes can cause tumour

Researchers suggest new device to detect brain cancer using urine
Updated : 3 years, 1 month ago IST
The presence of a brain tumour can be determined by identifying a crucial membrane protein in urine, according to research from Nagoya University in Japan. By eliminating the need for intrusive tests and raising the possibility that tumours are found early enough for surgery, their protein m
