Feb. 4, 2025 — Research has shown that a potential new targeted therapy for childhood brain cancer is effective in infiltrating and killing tumor cells in preclinical models tested in mice.

Cell signalling is the mechanism by which stimuli are transmitted via a signalling cascade to effector molecules that orchestrate the appropriate response. Types of cell signalling pathways ...

It feels like the Splinter Cell remake has been on its way for a while now, which isn't helped by the fact it's been over three years since we heard anything official about the game. From what we ...

There are several traditional model systems commonly used to study cancer, including cell culture based, zebrafish and mouse models. These models all have their own unique advantages and limitations ...

While prokaryotic cells do not have membrane-bound structures, they do have distinct cellular regions (Figure 1). In prokaryotic cells, DNA bundles together in a region called the nucleoid. Primitive ...

In general, chemotherapy medications work by attacking cells or by preventing them from growing and dividing. Cancer cells tend to grow and divide rapidly and uncontrollably, and many chemotherapy ...

Many cells in multicellular organisms are specialised. They have specific roles in the organism of which they are part. Their structure is adapted to their function. They are often grouped ...

Only cardiac muscle tissue, comprising cells called myocytes, is present in the heart. In this article, we discuss the structure and function of cardiac muscle tissue. We also cover medical ...
