About 100 cells divide every second in our body. A key protein in cell division is a protein kinase termed Plk1, because it activates other proteins involved in this process. Plk1 is also ...

Rb1 loss may serve as a predictive biomarker to guide new targeted therapies for select breast cancers resistant to standard ...

Researchers discovered that a long-misunderstood protein plays a key role in helping chromosomes latch onto the right “tracks” during cell division. Instead of acting like a motor, it works more like ...

Human disease including cancer arises from disfunction of essential processes within a cell. One essential cellular process is the copying of the genomic DNA—the road map of cells—followed by ...

Like all forms of cancer, lung cancer is defined by uncontrolled cell division caused by loss of physiological tissue homeostasis and failure of apoptotic cell death mechanisms. Aberrant cell ...

Cells in the human body accumulate cancer-promoting mutations throughout their lifespan, yet these mutations rarely drive tumour formation. Tumours in a given tissue usually originate from a specific ...

Chemotherapy kills cancer cells. But the way these cells die appears to be different than previously understood. Researchers from the Netherlands Cancer Institute, led by Thijn Brummelkamp, have ...

Julie Phillippi receives funding from the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute. You probably know someone who is affected by cancer. This disease results when cells divide uncontrollably and can ...
