A key mechanism that fuels uncontrolled cell growth is ... - Cancer
It was unclear how the TOR protein complex drives the uncontrolled growth of cancer cells. But Grewal and his colleagues discovered that TOR can drive cell division by targeting an RNA …
Signals released from dying cancer cells accelerate metastatic …
2023年3月27日 · Cancer cells that die via apoptosis (larger dark purple structures) expel their nuclear contents (orange and yellow stringy structures) to spur metastasis and growth of living …
Review: What Is Cancer? - SEER Training
The American Cancer Society defines cancer as "a group of diseases characterized by uncontrollable growth and spread of abnormal cells. If the spread is not controlled, it can result …
NCI study challenges long-held beliefs about cell division
