A team of scientists led by the National Cancer Center Singapore (NCCS) and Duke-NUS Medical School (Duke-NUS) has found a new approach for treating some of the world's most aggressive cancers ...

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 ...

Researchers at the University of Bayreuth have, for the first time, deciphered key steps in the biosynthetic mechanism of the ...

About 100 cells divide every second in our body. A key protein in cell division is a protein kinase termed Plk1, because it activates other proteins involved in this process. Plk1 is also ...

Cells in the human body accumulate cancer-promoting mutations throughout their lifespan, yet these mutations rarely drive tumour formation. Tumours in a given tissue usually originate from a specific ...

Researchers at the University of Bayreuth have, for the first time, deciphered key steps in the biosynthetic mechanism of the potential anti-cancer agent fostriecin. The team led by Prof. Dr. Frank ...

Like all forms of cancer, lung canceris defined by uncontrolled cell division caused by loss of physiological tissue homeostasis and failure of apoptotic cell death mechanisms. Aberrant cell ...
