Proto-oncogenes are important cellular genes which can acquire gain in function mutations as random events in somatic cells. In their mutated, activated forms they are called cellular oncogenes or c-oncs. This distinguishes them from homologous DNA sequences captured by viruses from host cells in...
Cells in the body are growing all the time. As they wear out and disappear, their places are taken by new cells of exactly the same kind. But cancer cells look and act differently from normal body cells. They look like the young cells of the part ...

Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is a virus that infects (and destroys) Helper T Cells. As a result, people who are HIV%%(vertical-align: sup)+%% generally have a low number of these T Cells. How would a dramatic decrease in Helper T Cells affec...
In some cancers, tests may be conducted to see which kind of cell may be involved, as in breast cancer, where surgeons look for cells with estrogen receptors to determine which type of treatment would be most appropriate for the patient's condition. If a doctor suspects that a patient has...
