Excess zinc in muscles contributes to wasting syndrome in cancer: Discovery could lead to the development of treatments for a debilitating condition implicated in 30 percent of all cancer deaths
It’s estimated that nearly one-third of all cancer deaths are caused not by the cancer itself but by cachexia —
‘Hidden’ driver discovered that helps prime the anti-tumor immune response
Like exposing a crime boss whose authority has gone undetected, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital scientists have identified a hidden
Tumor cells evade death through in extremis DNA repair: A study on breast cancer conducted at IRB Barcelona identifies the key role of p38 in safeguarding tumor cells against the excessive accumulation of DNA damage, which would otherwise cause cell death
Greater knowledge of the mechanisms that contribute to the survival of tumour cells is key to vanquishing them. The study
Particle shows promise for treating the deadliest type of breast cancer: Like a smart bomb, the potential treatment targets a cancer-enabling agent to prevent lung metastasis
USC researchers have pinpointed a remedy to thwart a protein that helps the metastatic spread of breast cancer, a leading
Flow of cerebrospinal fluid regulates neural stem cell division
Stem cells in the brain can divide and mature into neurons participating in various brain functions, including memory. In a
Chemical octopus catches sneaky cancer clues, trace glycoproteins
Cancer drops sparse chemical hints of its presence early on, but unfortunately, many of them are in a class of
Treatment of cancer could become possible with adenovirus: Adenovirus binds to a specific type of carbohydrate that is overexpressed on certain types of cancer cells.
Adenovirus is a common virus that causes infectious diseases of the respiratory tract, eyes and gastrointestinal tract in humans and
Cancer genes characterized using ground-breaking new method
All cells in our body carry the dictionary of genetic information, the human genome. However, their shape and function are
An index measures similarity between cancer cells and pluripotent stem cells: The new methodology measures tumor aggressiveness and the risk of relapse, helping doctors plan treatment
The theory that cancer progression involves the acquisition by tumor cells of features similar to those of stem cells has
