Cancer is somewhat like an evolutionary process. Over time, cancer cells accumulate multiple mutations in genes that control cell division. Learn how dangerous this accumulation can be.

The same deadly fungus is now being looked at as a potential cancer treatment. The therapy detailed in this new study is a ...

Growth- and division-inhibiting agents are already being used in cancer treatment. "Based on our observations in cell cultures, we would expect an increased relapse rate when treating a tumour ...

A fungus that is thought to have claimed the lives of several excavators working on King Tutankhamun's burial site has had a ...

Penn engineering researchers modified a fungus called Aspergillus flavus, which may have caused lung disease and illness in ...

Cancer cells possess a remarkable quality called plasticity. This means they can change their form. This ability helps them survive and spread. Cancer cells act like young cells. They can adapt to ...

Cancer cranks cell division into overdrive with often deadly results. Now, researchers have identified a protein that plays a key role in the process, meaning it could be a future treatment target ...

Remnant of cell division could be responsible for spreading cancer Date: October 7, 2023 Source: University of Wisconsin-Madison Summary: Once thought to be the trash can of the cell, a little ...

“Cell cycle events are coordinated by cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) to ensure robust cell division,” they wrote. “CDK4/6 and CDK2 regulate the growth 1 (G1) to synthesis (S) phase ...

An added benefit of TTFields is that their forces are localized to the tumor area and specifically target cancer cells while sparing normal cells (3). Normal cells undergo significantly fewer division ...
