By Nick Lavars November 14, 2022 Scientists have discovered a new type of electrical activity in cancer cells Depositphotos By using machine learning and cutting-edge microscopes, scientists have uncovered what they believe to be a new form of communication between cancer cells. Described as a “type of electrical language,” the discovery may be key to...
UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN The findings offer a proof-of-concept for developing therapies against hepatocellular carcinoma, the most common form of liver cancer. Jiandie Lin and his team use mice as a model to study how molecular and cellular changes are affected by nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, and how these changes consequently lead to the progression of this...

A Incidence of optic pathway glioma (OPG) in NF1 patients harboring the c.5425C > T NF1 germline mutation. B Representative images of dissected optic nerves from control (Nf1f/f; CTL) and Nf1-mutant mice harboring conditional somatic Nf1 inactivation in neuroglial...
Alongside helping to detect tumors, the molecule could play a significant role in the research of wound healing disorders. Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body. It makes up a third of protein content and single strands assemble to form stable fibers that give structure to connective tissue such as skin, tendons, cartilage,...
OSAKA UNIVERSITY IMAGE: THE INTERACTION BETWEEN TUMOR CELLS AND STELLATE CELLS IN TUMOR MICROENVIRONMENT v CREDIT: OSAKA UNIVERSITY Osaka, Japan – Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), frequently seen in patients with liver cirrhosis caused by alcohol abuse or chronic viral hepatitis, is the most common form of liver cancer worldwide. As such, it is the third-most common cause of...
PURDUE UNIVERSITY WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – In 2018, approximately 324,000 men died from cancer in the United States. The combination of lung cancer, prostate cancer and colorectal cancer equated to half of those deaths. Large percentages of each of these cancers can be prevented or treated if caught early. Now, Purdue University scientists have created...
by Kate Wighton, Imperial College London An antibody that usually helps defend the skin against harmful substances or infections may promote tumor growth during chronic tissue inflammation. One of the skin’s defenses against environmental assault can help tumors to grow when skin is exposed to chronic inflammation, finds a study in mice published today in...
