The invention provides methods and compositions for identifying cancer stem cells and stem cells. In addition, β-catenin, hematopoietic tumors, ie been identified as a target for the therapeutic component development for leukemia and lymphoma cells, in this development, screening assays for β-...
Cancer is a rapidly growing burden on healthcare. To turn the tide, science and society must unite to accelerate therapeutic breakthroughs — and change the way they’re delivered.
byH. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center & Research Institute Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain Cells need energy to survive and thrive. Generally, if oxygen is available, cells will oxidize glucose to carbon dioxide, which is very efficient, much like burning gasoline in your car. However, even in th...
Researchers at Johns Hopkins Medicine have identified a molecular pathway in human breast and lung cells that might lead to excessive genome duplication, a common feature in cancer cells. By studying the cell cycle, they discovered that certain proteins and enzymes behave abnormally under stress, p...
A new study led by researchers at the University of Southern California (USC) identifies how genes are silenced in cancer cells through distinct changes in the density of nucleosomes within the cells.
Lung cancercan spread to other parts of the body, such as the bones,liver, adrenal glands, orbrain. If thebiopsyconfirms lung cancer, your doctor will use other tests to identify the type of cancer and where it's spread. Nearbylymph nodescan be tested for cancer cells with a procedure ...
PET scans (positron emission tomography)-a slightly radioactive sugar solution is used to identify cancer cells, which consume more of the sugar solution than normal cells will. A camera then takes pictures of the highlighted cells, allowing identification of small tumors or those which have spread...
ovarian tumors block T cells’ lipid uptake, starving them of energy needed to attack the cancer. By modifying the protein Transgelin 2 in CAR T cells, they enabled effective lipid uptake, paving the way for more successful immunotherapy treatments against ovarian cancer. Credit: SciTechDaily.com...
GlioX activates production of antibodies that locate and attach to receptor tyrosine kinase (ROR1) proteins that are present on the surfaces of most cancer cells. The antibodies identify cancer cells to immune system cells. This action greatly improves the ability of the immune system to identify...
