Using a novel method that gives a readout of which proteins are in specific locations within cells, UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers have identified a protein that plays a key role in cell ...

Cell migration is a multistep process essential to various physiological functions, including immune cell movement and embryonic development, as well as pathological conditions like tumor metastasis.

Metastatic disease—when cancer spreads from the primary tumor to other parts of the body—is the cause of most cancer deaths. While researchers understand how cancer cells escape the primary site to ...

Successful test in breast cancer patients: the active agent digoxin, a cardiac medication, dissolves clusters of circulating breast cancer cells in the blood, thus reducing the risk of metastases ...

During embryonic development, the process of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) allows the migration of cells to different destinations to form organs and tissues. This same program is used by ...

Shi, Merghoub and colleagues show in the current study that distinct, functionally immature neutrophils associated with bone metastases produce another molecule, CHI3L3, that disrupts the activation ...
