Breast cancer cells shift their metabolic strategy to metastasize
Discovery of a metabolic shift in human breast cancer metastasis may lead to new strategies for preventing the spread of cancer, saving thousands of lives. …
Read Full ArticleCutting off kidney cancer at its roots
Scientists have identified stem cells responsible for the most common form of kidney cancer and discovered a way to block the growth of these tumors in disease models. …
Read Full ArticleBringing the ‘sticky’ back to pancreatic cancer
A gene regulator, called BACH1, promotes pancreatic cancer metastasis by repressing cell adhesion genes, thereby making tumor cells less sticky and more likely to invade other tissues. …
Read Full ArticleAssessing ‘stickiness’ of tumor cells could improve cancer prognosis
A team of researchers has created a device that measures how “sticky” cancer cells are, which could improve prognostic evaluation of patient tumors. …
Read Full ArticleA single number helps data scientists find most dangerous cancer cells
Biomedical data scientists have shown that the number of genes a cell uses to make RNA is a reliable indicator of how developed the cell is, a finding that could make it easier to target cancer-causing genes. …
