Our group studies how
normal cell behaviour is altered by mutation in the early stages of cancer evolution.
Not exact matches
Lowering levels of AMACR reduces the growth of cancer
cells, and these
cells revert to more «
normal»
behaviour.
Some biologists refer to this as multicellular
behaviour rather than true multicellularity, because
normal growth occurs when the
cells are separate.
«Such dynamic
behaviours were difficult to find using
normal techniques, and our findings were made possible by single - molecule tracking of new fluorescent ganglioside probes,» said Kenichi Suzuki of the Institute for Integrated
Cell - Material Sciences (WPI - iCeMS) and the paper's co-author.
Our global aim is to characterize the molecular pathways that regulate the
behaviour of
normal stem
cells during homeostasis, and how they become deregulated during carcinogenesis and ageing.
