The body is made up of approximately 37.2 trillion human cells – so you can truly appreciate how many that is, here is the number written out in full, 37,200,000,000,000 – that’s a lot of cells. These ...

become specialised (mature). This means they have a specific role to perform for example as a muscle cell or red blood cell. Cancer cells are different to normal cells in various ways. Cancer cells ...

A 3D map of tumor cells has been created by analyzing hundreds of thousands of cells extracted from human and animal tissues. Uncovering the process by which normal cells abnormally proliferate to ...

Scientists have discovered that some cancer cells pretend to be ‘super fit’ to fool normal healthy cells into giving them their nutrients, allowing them to expand and spread around the body. A team ...

All cancers begin in cells. Our bodies are made up of more than a hundred million million (100,000,000,000,000) cells. Cancer starts with changes in one cell or a small group of cells. Usually, we ...

Scientists have turned cancerous cells back to normal by switching back on the process which stops normal cells from replicating too quickly Cancer cells could be stopped from replicating after ...

We are studying the molecular and cellular processes that contribute to tumour formation and progression with an aim to provide information that will contribute to improving cancer patient therapy. Dr ...

The new technique could kill a wide range of cancer cells, including breast and prostate A newly-discovered part of our immune system could be harnessed to treat all cancers, say scientists. The ...

Researchers have identified the mechanism by which cancer cells create their own growth signals to proliferate, independent of their environment, during the early stages of stomach cancer. The Institu ...
