Cells carry their own growth switches. When enough nutrients—amino acids in particular—are available, cells flip this switch ...

In many animal tissues, stem cells continually divide to create new cells that replace old or damaged ones. However, this ...

Signalling between neurons and tumour cells in the lung and brain promotes the growth of small-cell lung cancer. These interactions might be a therapeutic target. Read the paper: Neuronal ...

Cells carry their own growth switches. When enough nutrients-amino acids in particular-are available, cells flip this switch on and begin to grow. Researchers at KAIST and Yonsei University have now ...

Scientists at Nagoya University in Japan studied what happens when macrophages—a type of immune cell—encounter dying cancer cells in tumors and discovered a mechanism that accelerates tumor growth.

Fighting cancer effectively often involves stopping cancer cells from multiplying, which requires understanding proteins that the cells rely on to survive. Protein profiling plays a critical role in ...

Researchers at MUSC Hollings Cancer Center have discovered a potentially powerful weapon in the fight against head and neck cancers. The new drug, still in preclinical studies, attacks cancer cells ...

Researchers at KAIST and Yonsei University have mapped the structural mechanism by which cells translate nutrient cues into ...

Japanese researchers have found that vitamin C can thicken skin by switching on genes that boost skin cell growth, helping reverse age-related thinning. It works by reactivating DNA through a process ...

The growth plates contain special stem cells that continuously produce new cartilage cells, which are converted into bone tissue. In the case of growth disorders in children with a height ...

Impact of Circulating Tumor DNA and Copy-Number Alterations on Clinical Outcome in Relapsed/Refractory Germ Cell Tumors Treated With Salvage High-Dose Chemotherapy ASCO Guidelines provide ...
