By assessing how 'sticky' tumor cells are, researchers have found a potential way to predict whether a patient's early-stage breast cancer is likely to spread. The discovery could help doctors ...
Greedy cancer cells hijack various cellular functions to find and exploit energy and other resources, including a group of enzymes that help normal cells maintain a balance of energy.
Disruption of a Single Amino Acid in a Cellular Protein Makes Breast Cancer Cells Behave Like Stem Cells Feb. 11, 2025 — Changes to the intermediate filament (IF) protein, vimentin, were found ...
“The results remind us: Don’t forget the basophil,” said study author Chih-Hao Chang, a cancer immunologist at The Jackson Laboratory. While most current research and immunotherapeutic strategies ...
There are many kinds of germ cell tumors, and only some of them are cancer. Germ cells don’t ... a group of germ cells grows in a way that’s not normal. A tumor forms. This usually happens ...
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths among both men and women. Small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) and non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are the two main types of lung cancer. Most lung ...
UC San Diego researchers have developed a device that predicts breast cancer aggressiveness by measuring tumor cell adhesion. Weakly adherent cells indicate a higher risk of metastasis, especially in ...
ER+/PR+ breast cancer, common and hormone-responsive, offers a better prognosis and is key in treatment research advancements ...
Extracellular vesicles play a vital role in cell biology, modulating communication and signaling, with potential applications in diagnostics and therapeutics.
Gene-engineered immune cell therapies have partially transformed cancer treatment, as exemplified by the use of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cells in certain hematologic malignancies. However, ...
