NIH-Funded Research to Fight Stomach Cancer with Genetics

Stomach cancer is one of the deadliest cancers in the world, often diagnosed too late for effective treatment. Luis Carvajal-Carmona is leading research at UC ��ԭ�� to identify the genetic risks behind the disease. By studying how inherited genes influence cancer risk, his team aims to develop better ways to detect stomach cancer earlier and create targeted treatments that save lives.

Outside-In Signaling Shows a Route Into Cancer Cells

Andy Fell — February 04, 2025 - 9:08am

A new study shows how an anticancer drug triggers an “outside in” signal that gets it sucked into a cancer cell. The work, published Jan. 29 in Nature Communications, reveals a new signaling mechanism that could be exploited for delivering other drugs.

Many malignant cancers overexpress a protein called P-cadherin, which is embedded in the cell membrane. Because cancer cells have a lot of P-cadherin sticking out of their surface, the protein has been targeted for drug development.

Researchers Identify Protein Linked to Metastasis in Pancreatic Cancer

Andy Fell — February 02, 2024 - 9:00am

Pancreatic cancer is the No. 3 cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States, and only 12% of patients survive five years after being diagnosed. Severe pancreatic cancer is associated with metastasis, and it is this spread of secondary tumors that usually causes death, but little is known about the molecular mechanisms that drive metastasis.

Experiments in Yeast Hint at Possible Origins of Cancer and Autism
