Cancer begins in your cells, which are the building blocks of your body. Normally, your body forms new cells as you need them, replacing old cells that die. Sometimes this process goes wrong. New cells grow even when you don't need them, and old cells don't die when they should. These extra cells can form a mass called a tumor. Tumors can be benign or malignant. Benign tumors aren't cancer while malignant ones are. Cells from malignant tumors can invade nearby tissues. They can also break away and spread to other parts of the body.

BioDlink Fast-Tracks Global Growth with Bevacizumab Launch in Colombia and Pakistan

BioDlink announced that its self-developed bevacizumab injection biosimilar has received marketing approval from Colombia’s National Institute for Surveillance of Medicines and Foods (INVIMA) and Pakistan’s Drug Regulatory Authority of Pakistan (DRAP).

Genetic Discovery Reveals How Plants Respond to Blue Light and Cold

Plants may be stuck in one place, but the world around them is constantly changing. In order to grow and flower at the right time, plants must constantly collect information about their surroundings, measuring things like temperature, brightness, and length of day.

Tackling KRAS Mutations Unlocks New Hope for Pancreatic Cancer Patients

Accounting for nearly 90% of all pancreatic cancers, pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) has a five-year survival rate of just 13%. Late-stage diagnosis, limited surgical options, and toxic chemotherapy regimens contribute to its poor outcomes.

Plants Activate Immunity Instead of Growth During Drought Recovery

A plant's number one priority is to grow-a feat that demands sunlight, nutrients, and water. If just one of these three inputs is missing, like water in a drought, growth halts.

Tumors Use Mitochondrial Transfer to Reprogram Surrounding Cells

Tumors have developed many strategies and tricks to gain advantages in the body. Led by cell biology professor Sabine Werner, researchers at ETH Zurich have now discovered another surprising trick that certain tumors resort to in ensuring their survival and growth.

Researchers Uncover Toggle Switch Guiding Stem Cell Fate in Olfactory Neurons

Cellular differentiation of stem cells into specialized cells requires many steps, including division, to create more cells; fate determination, which is a commitment to a specific lineage or developmental path; and migration, to integrate the cell into its final location.

New Cellular Mechanism Helps Cells Heal Faster

When cells are harmed, they produce well-regulated responses that promote healing. These include a long-studied self-destruction mechanism that eliminates dead and damaged cells, as well as a more recently discovered phenomenon that allows older cells to return to a younger state to aid in the regeneration of healthy tissue.
