Stopping a tumor's 'cellular looting' may help treatment for brain cancersTo grow and spread rapidly, some cancer cells steal tiny power generators from healthy cells. Glioblastoma is a fast-growing and aggressive brain tumor that often kills patients within a year of diagnosis. The cancer starts in the cells called… Jun 22 23June 22, 2023Article at National Geographic
These microbes found in tumors promote cancer. What if we just kill them?New studies show that bacteria help cancer cells evade the body’s immune response. Experts say this relationship could prove vital for wiping out cancer. Most bacteria living in the human body help us thrive, but recent studies show that some… Apr 20 23April 20, 2023Article at National Geographic

One-two punch for cancerMany cancer cells evade critical DNA surveillance and maintenance by increasing the export — by the Exportin-1 (XPO1) nucleo-cytoplasmic transport protein — of nearly all major tumor suppressor proteins from the nucleus. Thus, overexpression of XPO1… Mar 05 20March 05, 2020Article at Vanderbilt
