News: Tumor Time Bombs Set Off by Stem Cells
Jeudi 10 Janvier 2008 - 22:00 - 12 mois depuis - 28 lectures - Cancer - Scientific American Researchers say they have identified a switch that makes dormant breast cancer cells that have traveled to the lungs swell to lethal proportions--completing the dreaded process of metastasis or cancer spread. A team from Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory in Long Island, N.Y., reports that it staved off full-blown metastasis in mice by preventing mini-tumors in the lungs from recruiting stem cells called endothelial progenitors, which assemble into blood vessels to nourish the malignancy. |
