Researchers used mutational analysis to identify gene mutations that may drive carcinogenesis in colorectal tumors with high ...

I don't necessarily think about normal stem cells dying when colon cancer is starting,” Sethi commented. To understand the sequence of these early events, the researchers did a timed deletion of one ...

Colorectal cancer (CRC), a type of cancer that affects the large intestine and rectum, is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths worldwide. The mutational landscape of CRC is ...

Observations of electrical signal propagation across colonies of epithelial cells suggest they may be able to communicate, ...

It has long been thought that only nerve and heart cells use electric impulses to communicate, while epithelial cells — which compose the linings of our skin, organs and body cavities — are mute, ...
