Researchers have discovered how a compound found in a caterpillar fungus may be able to disrupt the out-of-control cell growth that drives cancer. The findings represent an important step toward ...
Kateřina Jeřábková-Roda is involved in cancer research that links microscopic cellular changes to the hope of earlier ...
About 100 cells divide every second in our body. A key protein in cell division is a protein kinase termed Plk1, because it activates other proteins involved in this process. Plk1 is also ...
Human disease including cancer arises from disfunction of essential processes within a cell. One essential cellular process is the copying of the genomic DNA—the road map of cells—followed by ...
The findings were published in the journal Cell. The research was led by Leonie Uhl, Amel Aziba, and Sinah Löbbert, working with colleagues from the University of Würzburg (JMU), Massachusetts ...
Cells in the human body accumulate cancer-promoting mutations throughout their lifespan, yet these mutations rarely drive tumour formation. Tumours in a given tissue usually originate from a specific ...
The 2026 Sjöberg Prize has been awarded to Charles Swanton of the Francis Crick Institute for his discoveries concerning the clonal evolution of cancer cells and its importance for tumour growth ...
Even before a tumor in the pancreas becomes discernible, an activated cancer gene actively remodels its future environment ...
Like all forms of cancer, lung cancer is defined by uncontrolled cell division caused by loss of physiological tissue homeostasis and failure of apoptotic cell death mechanisms. Aberrant cell ...
Cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide, marked by the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells. What makes it more dangerous is the ability of cancer cells to move quickly through the ...
