But filopodia can also wreak havoc: metastatic cancer cells use them to invade new regions of the body. Filopodia are composed of hexagonal bundles of proteins that give them structure and strength.

A new study shows how an anticancer drug triggers an “outside in” signal that gets it sucked into a cancer cell. The work, ...

Cancer cells are cells gone wrong — in other words, they no longer respond to many of the signals that control cellular growth and death. Cancer cells originate within tissues and, as they grow ...

Table 1 below provides an overview of the key features of a prokaryotic cell: Table 1. The structure and function of key prokaryotic cell structures. Prokaryotes have ribosomes but they are smaller ...

A team led by the Cancer Immunogenomics group at the Josep Carreras Leukaemia Research Institute, the Computational Biology group at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center and the Germans Trias i Pujol ...

"What is a tumor?" This is the fundamental question to answer if we want to treat cancer effectively. Our vision of cancer ...

Scientists reveal how filopodia help cancer spread. The breakthrough could improve treatments that stop cancer cells from invading tissues.
