Figure 2 shows the blood-flow pathways for cancers growing in two different primary sites: breast and colon. Breast cancer cells that escape from the primary site into the blood circulation would ...

Our body fat may turn out to be a secret weapon in our everlasting fight against cancer. A new study released this week ...

Researchers from the Francis Crick Institute have found that some particularly aggressive lung cancer cells can develop their own electric network, like that seen in the body’s nervous system.

Changes to the intermediate filament (IF) protein, vimentin, were found to promote tumor growth by increasing cancer stemness in an oestrogen independent manner. Targeting vimentin and/or the long ...

Scientists at UC San Francisco have pioneered a groundbreaking approach to fighting cancer using engineered fat cells. By ...

Xinning Zhang and Ashley Maloney discovered that a geology technique shows promise in detecting cancer-like cells. If their ...

HER2-positive (HER2+) breast cancer treatments come with a range of unpleasant side effects. However, there are strategies ...

The authors liken the method to the moment just before water reaches 212°F (100°C), when it's neither truly liquid nor truly ...

Scientists uncover an enzyme that boosts cancer cell metabolism to fuel growth. The enzyme, GUK1, supports metabolism in cancer cells to help tumors grow.

A new study led by Massachusetts General Brigham suggests that yogurt may help protect against colorectal cancer by ...

New research has found that changes to the intermediate filament (IF) protein, vimentin, were found to promote tumor growth.

Researchers also found that mutant vimentin made breast cancer cells grow without depending on the hormone estrogen when injected into immuno-compromised mice. The tumors in these mice showed high ...
