研究人员找到脑瘤细胞的起源
11-01-10 Scientists have identified the type of cell that is at the origin of brain tumors known as oligodendrogliomas（少突神经胶质瘤） , which are a type of glioma a category that defines the most common type of malignant brain tumor. In a paper published...

研究人员发现调控细胞蛋白质稳定性的生物机制
10-12-24 The cell signaling pathway known as Wnt, commonly activated in cancers, causes internal membranes（内膜） within a healthy cell to imprison（监禁，关押） an enzyme that is vital in degrading proteins, preventing the enzyme from doing its job and aff...

研究人员发现潜在的乳腺癌疗法
10-12-23 Overexpression or hyperactivation of ErbB cell-surface receptors drives the growth of many breast cancers. Drugs, like Herceptin, that block the receptors' signals halt tumor progression in some patients. However, not all patients' tumors respond, w...

增强脊髓损伤的神经元修复能力
10-11-16 If researchers could determine how to send signals to cells responding to a spinal cord injury, they might be able to stop one type of cell from doing additional damage at the injury site and instead, coax（哄骗） it into helping nerve cells grow. T...
