New research shows how cancer cells use a vitamin B7-dependent pathway to survive in the absence of glutamine, revealing potential drug targets.
The ability of mutations to cause cancer depends on how fast they force cells to divide, Sinai Health researchers have found. The study, led by Dr. Rod Bremner, a Senior Investigator at the ...

A starting signal for cell division: Molecular switch ensures that cells divide at the right time
About 100 cells divide every second in our body. A key protein in cell division is a protein kinase termed Plk1, because it activates other proteins involved in this process. Plk1 is also ...
Scientists have discovered that a rare “mirror-image” version of the amino acid cysteine can dramatically slow the growth of ...
