Unravelling the circuitry that controls cancer growth and spread
Study reveals novel insights into the molecular circuitry controlling cancer cell growth and spread, providing new potential therapeutic targets.
Read Full ArticlePreventing pancreatic cancer metastasis by keeping cells ‘sheltered in place’
Pancreatic cancer metastasis can be suppressed by inhibiting the function of a protein called Slug that regulates cell movement. …
Read Full ArticleStudy reveals first evidence inherited genetics can drive cancer’s spread
A new study suggests that differences in a single gene, carried within someone’s genome from birth, can alter progression of melanoma, a type of skin cancer. …
Read Full ArticleBreast 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. …
