Cell migration represents a fundamental physiological process that is intricately linked to cancer biology. The movement of cells is governed by dynamic interactions with the extracellular matrix (ECM ...

Alpha-enolase (ENO1) is a multifunctional enzyme primarily known for its role in glycolysis, where it catalyses the conversion of 2-phosphoglycerate to phosphoenolpyruvate. However, ENO1’s ...

An enigmatic type of circulating tumor cell called a dual-positive (DP) cell is associated with shorter survival time in patients with advanced breast cancer, according to a study led by investigators ...

Cancer biology increasingly recognizes that cancer stem cells (CSCs) represent a critical subpopulation within tumors, marked by their self-renewal, ...

Scientists have identified a crucial molecular switch that decides whether pancreatic cancer cells resist chemotherapy or respond to it. The key player, a gene called GATA6, keeps tumours in a more ...

A new study led by Pierre Close's team (GIGA, Laboratory of Cancer Signaling, and WELRI Investigator) reveals how subtly ...

HeLa cells are the most famous human cells in science. Discover how cervical cancer, HPV proteins, and bioethics shaped one ...

A leading oncologist proposes classifying metastatic cancer by molecular alterations rather than organ origin, arguing that the shift could accelerate drug access.

Cancer cells undergo physically constraining processes, such as intravasation, extravasation, and tissue infiltration, that lead to acute mechanical stress. How mechanical confinement rewires the ...

Can the bend of a banana give us insight into cancer? What does the shape of a rice grain have to do with infertility? The ...

The Undergraduate Cancer Biology Society (UCBS) was started in 2022 with inaugural President Sarah Elimam. Now our third year as a UAB Registered Student Organization, UCBS is excited to continue its ...
