Somatic Mutations of Brain Cells Lead To Varying Susceptibility to Illness in Human

Every tissue in the human body develops somatic mutations during the course of a person’s life through mechanisms that rely on the physiology of the tissue itself as well …

Prognosticating Lung Cancer with Artificial Intelligence Is Now Possible

Cancer occurs in cells in a particular area of the body, proliferating and replicating uncontrollably. These cells can penetrate and ravage nearby healthy tissue, including organs. The common types …

Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma (PDAC) Treatment Gains a Boost with New Gene Markers

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a common neoplastic disease of the pancreas. PDAC is a highly aggressive and very lethal malignant tumor. Malignant PDAC is usually not diagnosed early …

A New Human Fetal Brain Atlas Decodes the Origin and Formation of Brain Cancer

The most common malignant childhood brain tumors are medulloblastomas (MBs). They are classified into four major subgroups. Three main groups originate from the cerebellum, and one is from the …

Mesothelioma: How Do You Cope With the Mental Health Difficulties Upon Diagnosis?

Mesothelioma is a form of cancer that is fairly rare in the United States. According to the American Cancer Society, about 3,000 new cases get diagnosed yearly. Meanwhile, cancer …

How the Regenerative Properties of Glioblastoma Can Be Terminated

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) or simply glioblastoma, is a type of cancer characterized by the growth of an aggressive neoplasm (tumor) in the brain or spinal cord. This type of …

Promising New Combination Therapy Discovered For Some Types of Lung Tumors

Scientists have reported a discovery that a combination of immunotherapy and a gene mutation-blocking drug may help fight against certain lung cancers. Lung cancer is a major cause of …

LAMP2A Protein Plays a Role in the Formation of Mesenchymal Tumors

Autophagy is the natural, conserved breakdown of the cell that eliminates unneeded or defective components. It occurs through a lysosome-dependent controlled mechanism. Autophagy enables cellular component breakdown and recycling. …

Single-Cell RNA-Seq of a Soft-Tissue Sarcoma Model Shows Importance of Tumor-Expressed Proteins

In a recent study, researchers concentrated on the tumor microenvironment, an ecosystem of blood vessels and other cells that tumors attract to provide them with nutrients and aid in …

Artificial Intelligence Accurately Diagnoses Brain Tumors in Austrian Study

Did you know that although most (about 71% of) brain tumors are benign? Tumors of the brain remain one of the most feared neoplasias in any organ. Brain tumors …
