Cancer is a disease characterized by the abnormal growth and division of cells in the body. Tumors can affect any part of the body and can be benign (noncancerous) or malignant (cancerous), spreading to other parts of the body through the bloodstream or the lymphatic system. A predictive model has been developed that allows researchers …

Credit: public domain CC0 Researchers from the University of Queensland have identified a pathway in cells that could be used to reprogram the body’s immune system to fight chronic inflammatory and infectious diseases. Dr Kaustav Das Gupta and Professor Matt Sweet of UQ’s Institute of Molecular Bioscience have discovered that a molecule derived from glucose …
Scientists from the University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon University have solved a decades-old mystery about how cells control their volume. Crowded rooms: how researchers at Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh solved a cellular mystery. A surreal video of stressed cells under a microscope has inspired a group of kidney physiologists and …

Senescent cells are distinguished by the fact that they eventually stop multiplying but do not die as expected. Senescent cells help heal damaged tissue According to a recent study from the University of California, San Francisco, not all senescent cells are harmful “zombies” that must be eliminated to avoid age-related diseases. Instead, some of them …
Anti-aging drugs seek to eliminate ‘zombie’ cells – but could that be dangerous? Read More »
The most effective targets for precision medicine can be found using algorithms created by researchers at the University of Michigan. These algorithms successfully identify the weakest targets in ovarian cancer cells, the genes these cells depend on to live in the human body. Removal of cancer cells DNA DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, is a molecule …
