Not exact matches

Myc is an important player in the growth of organisms and also is implicated in cancer, another unhealthy competition between cells.

The scientists have shown that, in all cancers, a sort of «identity crisis» is observed in cancerous cells: in the organs or tissues in which a tumor develops, genes specific to other tissues or to other stages of the development of the organism express themselves in an aberrant manner.

Scientists from the Spanish National Cancer Research Centre (CNIO) have discovered that NANOG, an essential gene for embryonic stem cells, also regulates cell division in stratified epithelia — those that form part of the epidermis of the skin or cover the esophagus or the vagina — in adult organisms.

To see if this same result held true in higher organisms, Gerton's team treated cancer cells from Li's mice with four different DNA damaging drugs.

The nanoparticle, the vector for IL - 2, carries the substance to the receptors in cancer cells, then saturates them and kills them, besides generating an immune T cells bridge (in charge of activating the immune response of the organism).

During inflammatory responses due to infection, trauma, or cancer, the body's immune system becomes highly activated in an attempt to fend off invading organisms, foreign bodies, or tumor cells.

The proteasome complex is present in all multicellular organisms, and plays a critical role in cancer by allowing cancer cells to divide rapidly.

Given his training in developmental biology, Raman focused the team to seek a novel drug target on genes important to the development of model organisms — fruit flies (Drosophila) and yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae)-- rather than on oncogenes that transform a normal cell into a cancer cell.

Activating DISE in organisms with cancer might allow cancer cells to be eliminated.

Although lacking specialized cell types found in higher organisms and unsusceptible to cancer, Simon said that yeast is often a suitable model for preliminary drug screening before the drug's potential is evaluated in mammalian cells.

Still, he said, the new data, «has important implications for understanding the genesis of cancer and the interaction between human cells and other microbial or viral organisms in or around us.»

We have also identified a transcriptional signature of aneuploidy that is associated with cellular stress and slow proliferation, and is found in aneuploid primary and cancer cells across a host of organisms.

Dr. Shendure's research group in Seattle pioneered exome sequencing and its earliest applications to gene discovery for Mendelian disorders (e.g. Miller and Kabuki syndrome) and autism; cell - free DNA diagnostics for cancer and reproductive medicine; massively parallel reporter assays and saturation genome editing; whole organism lineage tracing; and massively parallel molecular profiling of single cells.

The quantification of local contraction at the micron scale, including its directionality and speed, in correlation with other parameters such as cell invasion, local protein or gene expression, can provide useful information to study wound healing, organism development, and cancer metastasis.

In the same ways that we are able to separate microeukaryotic single cell organisms, we are also able to separate and study tissue specific cells, neurons, sperm cells, oocytes and cancer cells.

«This is why the drug is mostly released inside cancer cells, which decreases the general concentration of the drug in the organism, thus preventing toxicity,» Matveyev notes.

Not only that consuming sugar won't speed the growth of cancer cells, but eliminating carbohydrates from your diet will make your whole body starve and suffer — all cells in your organism depend on these nutrients for energy.

«The theory is: the use of oxygen in the organism can be stimulated by protein compounds of sulphuric content, which make oils [omega - 3] water - soluble...» In short, this diet stops the spread of cancer and kills cancer cellin the organism can be stimulated by protein compounds of sulphuric content, which make oils [omega - 3] water - soluble...» In short, this diet stops the spread of cancer and kills cancer cellIn short, this diet stops the spread of cancer and kills cancer cells.

I said in the introduction that cancer is a disease in which cells lose their «humanness» — their proclivity to collaborate with other human cells to create a human organism.

Perhaps to underscore his point, he said that a new project, a piece to be included in an upcoming show organized by the artist Tino Sehgal at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris, will include organisms of a kind that few want to think about, much less admire as art: living cancer cells, donated by the Curie Institute.
