Medical Xpress: 'Hamelin Assay' traces molecular mechanisms that may guide cancer cell spread
EurekAlert!: NK cell senescence in cancer: from molecular mechanisms to therapeutic opportunities
Molecular biology / məˈlɛkjʊlər / is a branch of biology that seeks to understand the molecular structures and chemical processes that are the basis of biological activity within and between cells. It is centered largely on the study of nucleic acids (such as DNA and RNA) and proteins.
Lung cancer is a prevalent malignant tumor worldwide and the most common cause of cancer-related mortality, resulting in nearly 1.8 million deaths each year. Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the ...
Chemotherapy seeks to destroy tumor cells and has been a standard treatment for cancer for decades. However, it doesn't always work. "Chemotherapy is good for some patients, but it's not effective in ...
Cancer drugs are designed to shut tumors down. But sometimes, in the very act of attacking a tumor, treatment can also help a small fraction of cancer cells become harder to kill. A new study from ...
Scientists have identified a crucial molecular switch that decides whether pancreatic cancer cells resist chemotherapy or respond to it. The key player, a gene called GATA6, keeps tumours in a more ...
Scientists used CRISPR to disable the NRF2 gene, restoring chemotherapy sensitivity in lung cancer cells and slowing tumor growth. The technique worked even when only a fraction of tumor cells were ...
In a new study published in Cancer Cell titled, “Tumor-infiltrating bacteria disrupt cancer epithelial cell interactions and induce cell-cycle arrest,” researchers from the University of Texas MD ...
