Recent breakthroughs have uncovered how different cellular proteins are turned 'on' or 'off' at the molecular level, but much remains to be understood about how protein signaling influences cell behavior. http://www.huliq.com/11/85140/new-technique-will-help-understand-how-cancer-spreads#comments Health cancer cancer cells Wed, 19 Aug 2009 14:53:32 -0500 harminka 85140 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/84635/how-cancer-cells-respond-chemotherapy New work by MIT cancer biologists shows that the interplay between two key genes that are often defective in tumors determines how cancer cells respond to chemotherapy. http://www.huliq.com/11/84635/how-cancer-cells-respond-chemotherapy#comments Health cancer cells Cancer Treatment chemotherapy Fri, 07 Aug 2009 07:48:10 -0500 harminka 84635 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/84003/cancer-cell-growth-promoting-protein-identified Scientists at Burnham Institute for Medical Research (Burnham) have found that the Caspase-8 protein, long known to play a major role in promoting programmed cell death (apoptosis), helps relay signals that can cause cancer cells to proliferate, migrate and invade surrounding tissues. The study was published in the journal Cancer Research on June 15. http://www.huliq.com/11/84003/cancer-cell-growth-promoting-protein-identified#comments Health cancer cells cancer growth Fri, 24 Jul 2009 12:06:01 -0500 harminka 84003 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/82790/study-provides-potential-restoring-p53-cancer-cells Researchers at The University of Texas M.

They say this gene—known as RGS17—could result in a genetic predisposition to develop lung cancer for people with a strong family history of the disease. http://www.huliq.com/11/79755/researchers-identify-specific-lung-cancer-susceptibility-gene#comments Health cancer cells lung cancer Wed, 15 Apr 2009 11:48:18 -0500 harminka 79755 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/79274/fluorescent-cancer-cells-guide-brain-surgeons Gliomas are malignant brain tumors that arise from glial (supporting) cells of the brain. Gliomas are often resistant to chemotherapy. These tumors grow fine extensions that infiltrate normal brain tissue and, in addition, individual tumor cells can form satellites in surrounding tissue. Therefore, it is almost impossible to remove the tumor tissue completely by surgery. http://www.huliq.com/11/79274/fluorescent-cancer-cells-guide-brain-surgeons#comments Health brain cancer cancer cells Fri, 03 Apr 2009 12:53:09 -0500 harminka 79274 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/78617/how-cancer-cells-break-free Johns Hopkins engineers have invented a method that could be used to help figure out how cancer cells break free from neighboring tissue, an "escape" that can spread the disease to other parts of the body.
