For the first time, scientists have answered a longstanding question in cell biology about a partnership of proteins called ...

Researchers studying the molecular mechanisms that control cell growth and division are piecing together a surprising and complicated regulatory system that offers promising targets for anticancer ...

There are tens of trillions of cells in the human body, and new cells are constantly forming as older cells age and die. But sometimes, cell growth and replication doesn't stop when it should. These ...

Researchers have discovered how a compound found in a caterpillar fungus may be able to disrupt the out-of-control cell growth that drives cancer. The findings represent an important step toward ...

Cell signaling is crucial for cells to communicate and function correctly. Disruptions in these pathways, caused by genetic mutations or environmental factors, can lead to uncontrolled cell growth, ...

For organs to develop, grow and regenerate, cells must proliferate. But when that process goes awry, leading to uncontrolled cell growth, cancer can emerge. New CU Boulder research, published in the ...

Stanford Medicine researchers sifted through thousands of single nucleotide mutations in DNA to identify fewer than 400 that are functionally associated with inherited cancer risk. Thousands of single ...

Researchers have discovered how a particular protein affects the growth and spread of colon cancer in humans. The study not only improves our understanding of why this type of cancer can be aggressive ...

Thousands of single changes in the nucleotides that make up the human genome have been associated with an increased risk of developing cancer. But until now, it’s not been clear which are directly ...
