For anyone who has taken Biology 101, the concept of apoptosis—programmed cell death—is taught early in the course. You can't understand the life cycle of a cell without learning how they die.
Scientists have found an experimental small molecule that induces a form of cell death to kill a variety of cancers while enhancing the power of the immune system and leaving healthy cells totally unscathed.
Anticancer treatment strategies increasingly seek to raise reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, cause macromolecular damage, and kill cancer cells. Electromagnetic fields can elevate intracellular reactive oxygen species ...
Scientists at Stanford University have found a way to induce cell death in cancer cells with a method that could be effective in around 50% of cancers. In a paper, "Rewiring cancer drivers to activate apoptosis," published ...
A research team led by the German Cancer Research Center in Heidelberg, Germany, has discovered that the genetic sequence of a tumor can be read like a molecular clock, traced back to its most recent common ancestor cell. ...
Peter Mac researchers have discovered new insights into neural stem cell development in fruit flies that may provide answers on how brain tumors grow in humans.
