How Cancer Cells Physically Adapt to Survive Within Bodies

Cancer cells that detach from a primary tumor can remain hidden in the body for years in a dormant state, avoiding immune surveillance and waiting until conditions favor the formation of a new tumor elsewhere—a process called metastasis.

Scientists Identify TRPM4 as Key Molecular Switch Controlling Intestinal Fluid Balance

Although constipation and diarrhea may seem like opposite problems, they both hinge on the same underlying issue: how much fluid moves into the gut. These common issues affect millions of people in the U.S. each year, yet scientists have not fully understood what regulates intestinal fluid balance.
