Tumor initiation in pancreatic cancer driven by stress-tolerant cells: Stu
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
A molecular mechanism important for the development of pancreatic cancers has been found by researchers at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine. The mechanism could possibly contribute to the disease's great resistance to treatment and proclivity for metastasis.

Enzyme 'atlas' helps researchers decipher cellular pathways
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
A new atlas maps more than 300 protein kinases found in human cells and identifies which types of protein substrates they target. The atlas could help scientists understand what happens when cells become cancerous or are treated with specific drugs.

Study reveals genetic change in esophageal mucous membrane lead to esophag
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
Barrett oesophagus is a genetic mutation in the esophageal mucous membrane that can lead to esophageal cancer. If certain biomarkers, known as miDNA, which are extremely short DNA strands, are found in these tissue alterations, it could be an indication that this preliminary stage of esophag

Scientists uncover new therapeutic target for treating colorectal tumors
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
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

Researchers reveal how ammonia dysregulates T cell function
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
According to new research, mice with colorectal cancer who have tumours with high levels of ammonia have fewer T cells and are less responsive to immunotherapy. Ammonia, which is crucial for anti-tumor immunity, has been demonstrated to impede the proliferation and operation of T cells.

Research: Pair of key enzymes help regulate genome
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
After an intrepid, decade-long search, Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists say they have found a new role for a pair of enzymes that regulate genome function and, when missing or mutated, are linked to diseases such as brain tumors, blood cancers and Kleefstra syndrome a rare genetic, neurocog

Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
The surgical approach is frequently not decided when a patient has surgery to remove a tumour or treat an illness. In order to decide how much tissue needs to be removed, surgeons need to know more about the condition they are treating, such as a tumor's margins, its stage, and whether a les
