To grow as fast as they do, cancer cells push certain genes to work far harder than any healthy cell would tolerate. A new study in Science Advances suggests that this relentless overdrive doesn't just fuel growth, it may also... Continue Reading →
A new mouse study offers the first direct evidence that inherited genetic background shapes not just cancer risk, but the specific path a tumor takes as it evolves from a single damaged cell.
The protein NEK7 regulates neuron formation, as it is required for dendrite growth and branching, as well as the formation and shaping of dendritic spines. These are the main conclusions of a study published in Nature Communicationsand led by Jens Lüders... Continue Reading →
