Sentences with phrase «cell tumors generally»

Not exact matches

The luminal cells generally lead to more aggressive tumors.

Generally scientists have thought autophagy protects against cancer, although some evidence suggests it can help tumor cells cope with nutrient scarcity and other stresses.

Anti-cancer strategies generally involve killing off tumor cells.

«Aggressive cancers contain regions where the cancer cells are starved for oxygen and die off, yet patients with these tumors generally have the worst outcome.

Metastasis, or cancer spread by the formation of tumors at new sites, is generally what makes cancers deadly because surgery and other treatments are unlikely to find and destroy every cancer cell.

Tumors in other tissues are generally more solid, which can physically impede the ability of T - cells to penetrate into the mass of the tumor.

The prognosis for metastatic cancer (also called stage IV cancer) is generally poor, so a technique that could detect these circulating tumor cells before they have a chance to form new colonies of tumors at distant sites could greatly increase a patient's survival odds.

It is generally believed that a series of mutations in multiple genes are needed for cancer cells to become metastatic; however, recent cancer stem cell theory, which still remains as a hypothesis, predicts that metastatic tumor cells are, by definition, cancer stem cells and that these cells may exist in tumor mass even at an early stage.

«But we know that tumors generally develop from a single cell or a small number of cells of a specific cell type, which is one of the major determinants of the characteristics of tumor cells,» explains postdoctoral researcher and co-author Dinorah Friedmann - Morvinski.

It should be noted, however, that while a study on senescent cell ablation in genetically normal mice would provide at least some evidence on the effect of senescent cells (and their ablation) on promoting cancer, even such a study would likely show less effect than could be anticipated in a large mammal model, since even normally - aging mice rarely suffer metastatic disease to the extent of aging humans, as sheer primary tumor volume is generally sufficient to be fatal to mice.

Tumor suppressor genes generally suppress tumor growth and control cell grTumor suppressor genes generally suppress tumor growth and control cell grtumor growth and control cell growth.

Cancer stem cells are capable of self - renewal, have enhanced tumor - initiating ability and are generally more resistant to treatment than other cancer cells.

Similar to CTLs, these CD4 T cells will be specific to a tumor antigen, but unlike CTLs, they generally can not kill antigen - bearing tumor cells.

Uterine fibroids are generally benign (non-cancerous) tumors that are made from nodules of smooth muscle cells and fibrous connective tissue, hence the name «fibroid tumor».

Until recently, it was generally accepted that the tumors arise from endothelial (blood vessel lining) cells.

They are generally mixed cell tumors containing both neural ganglionic cells (cells that arise from ganglion) and neural glial cells (they provide protection and nutrition to neurons and participate in the signal transmission in the nervous system).

Although mast cell tumors are common and are generally benign, any abnormal growth should be surgically excised and submitted for histopathology.

Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) comprises 17 - 25 % of oral tumors seen in the dog and is generally very locally invasive with approximately 10 - 30 % cases developing metastatic disease.
