Researchers found that the Wnt5a protein, secreted by inflammatory fibroblasts within cancerous tumors, inhibits angiogenesis and consequently promotes hypoxia within tumors. Hypoxic conditions help ...
To effectively battle cancer, scientists must study the battlefield. Now, in a recent study published in Nature Communications, a multi-institutional research team including The University of Osaka ...
A toxin secreted by cholera bacteria can inhibit the growth of colorectal cancer without causing any measurable damage to the body. This is shown by a new study by researchers at Umeå University ...
Vitamin D’s anti-cancer powers go beyond bones, new findings reveal how it suppresses inflammation, boosts immune surveillance, and disrupts tumor development to guard against colorectal cancer. Study ...
Our findings suggest that RAS amplification may confer resistance to anti-EGFR antibodies. Assessing RAS amplification status can help clinicians identify patients who may have a reduced benefit from ...
In healthy colon tissue, "good" fibroblasts help support tissue architecture. However, in colon cancer, these fibroblasts transform into "bad" fibroblasts in low-oxygen areas near the tumor surface.
