Protein Symbolizing Difference Between Cancer And Non-cancer Cells
A new research led by UNIVERSITY OF ALBERTA FACULTY OF MEDICINE & DENTISTRY sheds light on how cancerous cells differ from healthy ones these new findings may possibly lead to the new advancement in strategies for therapeutic mediation for difficult-to-treat cancers in the future. A team of researchers identified a modified protein acting as a “stop sign”. Researchers named this “stop sign” as a PIP-stop–inside cells…

Approach of Targeting Cancer While Rescuing Healthy T-Cells
Lymphoma is a type of blood cancer which develops due to uncontrolled growth of lymphocytes. Lymphocytes are one of the several types of white blood cells and form the major part of immune system. The work of lymphocyte is to fight infection-causing germs but due to some change, lymphocyte multiplies abnormally and give rise to cancerous state i.e. lymphoma The…
