Diabetes may accelerate blood cancer growth, yet survival outcomes differ by race
Patients with multiple myeloma (a blood cancer of plasma cells in the bone marrow) who also have diabetes have a reduced overall survival when compared to those without diabetes. But in a subgroup analysis, this difference ...

Researchers find a cancer enhancer in the genome that drives tumor cell growth
University of Toronto (U of T) researchers have found that cancer cells can enhance tumor growth by hijacking enhancer DNA normally used when tissues and organs are formed. The mechanism, called enhancer reprogramming, occurs ...

Study offers way to increase immune checkpoint inhibitor effectiveness in patients with MTAP-deleted cancers
Loss of the "housekeeping" gene methylthioadenosine phosphorylase, or MTAP, is a common event in cancer. Patients with melanoma or bladder cancer whose tumor cells lack a functioning version of the gene tend not to respond ...

Predicting condensate formation by cancer-associated fusion oncoproteins
Many cancers are caused by fusion oncoproteins, molecules that aberrantly form when a rearrangement of DNA results in parts of two different proteins being expressed as one. Several fusion oncoproteins spontaneously form ...

Correcting the curve with scoliosis surgery
Scoliosis is a condition that causes the spine to curve. It often is diagnosed in children—perhaps during a growth spurt or in and around the time of puberty. However, it can be associated with other conditions such as ...

Team reports on enhanced wound healing, hemostasis with exosome-loaded gelatin sponges from umbilical cord stem cells
Rapid wound healing remains a pressing clinical challenge, necessitating studies to hasten this process. A promising approach involves the utilization of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSCs) derived exosomes. ...

Growth
Growth refers to an increase in some quantity over time. The quantity can be physical (e.g., growth in height, growth in an amount of money) or abstract (e.g., a system becoming more complex, an organism becoming more mature). It can also refer to the mode of growth, i.e. numeric models for describing how much a particular quantity grows over time.
