Left: In normal gastric tissue, gastric epithelial cells rely on growth signals provided by the surrounding microenvironment. In particular, WNT signals — such as WNT2 secreted by neighboring cells — ...

Small cell lung cancer cells that metastasize to the brain cozy up to neurons and form working electrical connections, called synapses, according to an upcoming study led by Stanford Medicine ...

A feature of pancreatic cancer cells' surroundings determines whether they grow fast or become resistant to chemotherapy, a ...

New research shows that cancer cells don’t just grow; they adapt when stressed. When squeezed inside tissues, they transform into more invasive, drug-resistant versions of themselves. A protein called ...

Scientists have found that a common bacterium that usually lives in the mouth can help stomach cancer grow by feeding tumors with a substance they use as fuel. The discovery suggests that this ...

A feature of pancreatic cancer cells' surroundings determines whether they grow fast or become resistant to chemotherapy, a new study shows. The ability of these cancer cells to adapt quickly and ...

Cells are not immortal, and that is a good thing. After a certain number of divisions, many human cells stop multiplying for good. They enter a state called replicative senescence, where growth ceases ...

Cancer Overview: Cancer is a serious disease where the body's cells start growing abnormally and can spread to other parts of the body. Normally, the body's cells grow, divide, and die in a controlled ...
