Medical Xpress / New mechanoresistant cancer cells show how they survive high stress environments

When a cancer cell leaves the original tumor to spread to a new, faraway location, it first has to survive what most cells cannot: periodic high-force moments in the vessels and heart of up to 5,000 dynes per centimeter squared ...

Medical Xpress / Giving antibodies 'eyes' may help target hidden KRAS mutations in cancer cells

Antibodies are like "guided missiles" that find and attack cancer cells, but cancer-causing mutations inside cells have remained a "blind spot" for treatment because antibodies cannot reach them. KAIST researchers have now ...
