Carcinoma is cancer that begins in the skin or in tissues that line or cover internal organs.
Our body functioning is delicately balanced between the synthesis and breakdown of various cellular components.
Scientists of the Princess Máxima Center for pediatric oncology and Hubrecht Institute in the Netherlands have revealed new scientific insights into the features of fibrolamellar carcinoma (FLC), a rare type of childhood liver cancer
Cellular life hinges on a network of hollow cables called microtubules dynamically lengthening and shortening according to the needs of the moment.
Ribonucleic acids (RNAs) are single-stranded molecules that are found in all living organisms’ cells. As “transcripts” of human genes, mRNAs, for instance, play a role in the translation of genetic information by bearing the instructions for the production of a protein in their own sequence.
Researchers from Niigata University and Kyoto Prefectural University have revealed that small vesicles, around 100 nm in size, released by intestinal bacteria induce immune activation and progression of liver cirrhosis, as well as reduction of serum albumin level, subsequently leading to edema and ascites.
Proteomics is the study and analysis of proteins in a biological system, including their structures, functions, associations, and alterations.
Most immunotherapies that aim to increase T cell activity are ineffective in treating estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer. A new study of invasive ER+ breast cancers led by researchers at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine implies that targeting a different type of immune cell called macrophages may be a more effective approach.
Most immunotherapies, which aim to boost T cell activity, work poorly in treating estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer.
The product of a gene expressed in most cancers, including the most prevalent type of head and neck cancer, has been linked to elevated levels of white blood cells that produce antibodies inside tumors, according to researchers at the University of California San Diego School of Medicine and UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center.
Brain tumors are notoriously hard to treat. One reason is the challenge posed by the blood-brain barrier, a network of blood vessels and tissue with closely spaced cells.
A decade-long international study into kidney cancer has shown that doctors can predict the likelihood of a patient's disease returning by looking at DNA mutations in their tumors.
Iron-dependent cell death (ferroptosis) is a type of programmed cell death by means of which the body kills off diseased, defective or superfluous cells.
Numerous cancers have been related to the viruses Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV). For the first time, UNC School of Medicine researchers have shown that these viruses elude the innate immune response by using a human protein called barrier-to-autointegration factor 1, or BAF, which enables the viruses to propagate and cause disease.
Researchers from The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have described a previously unrecognized type of cell death called disulfidptosis in a study that was published in Nature Cell Biology.
Due to the continuous cellular activity, malfunctions frequently occur, making error-correcting systems crucial for cells. However, it serves the cancer cells’ best interests to cause errors when it comes to destroying them.
At the NYU Langone Health’s Perlmutter Cancer Center, a team headed by scientists has determined a gene that forces the development of the second most common type of lung carcinoma.
A significant genome-wide association study on the nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has just been published in Nature Genetics by researchers from Amgen subsidiary deCODE Genetics.
Cedars-Sinai Cancer Center scientists found that cancerous tumors known as soft-tissue sarcomas generate a protein that changes immune cells from tumor attacking to tumor-promoting.
To drive anabolic processes, epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is heavily reliant on the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle and oxidative phosphorylation.
The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center scientists have created an ultrasound-guided cancer immunotherapy approach that promotes systemic antitumor immunity and increases immune checkpoint blockade therapeutic potential. Nature Nanotechnology published the results of the pioneering study.
