Recent research has focused on the detection in peripheral blood of rare circulating tumor cells (CTCs), which serve as noninvasive markers that can help inform diagnoses. It is inherently ...

The active ingredient digoxin, a substance found in foxglove, reduces the number of cells in clusters of breast cancer cells circulating in the blood. These clusters are responsible for the formation ...

This is because the primary tumor continuously releases cancer cells into the blood. These circulating tumor cells (CTCs) can join together into small clusters of up to a dozen cells and settle in ...

Researchers find blocking the KCNB2 gene can slow tumor growth, paving the way for ... Within cancerous tumours, there are special cells, called tumour-propagating cells, that drive tumour ...

In 2009 a team of biophysicists led by Anthony A. Hyman of the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics in Dresden, Germany, were studying specklelike structures called P ...

Treatment with IL-15 enhances the expression of Cytochrome P450 17A1 (CYP17A1) in granulosa cells, a key enzyme for androgen synthesis. Elevated levels of CYP17A1 lead to increased production of DHEA, ...
