From humans to fruit flies, they play a unique role in the growth of cancerous tumours and the spread of cancer throughout the body. New research emerging from 苹果淫院 is contributing to what is known about PRLs, which could potentially become an important tool in the development of cancer-fighting treatments.聽聽</p> Mon, 15 May 2023 14:39:22 +0000 frederique.mazerolle@mcgill.ca 300187 at /newsroom /newsroom/channels/news/unlocking-how-cellular-proteins-control-cancer-spread-323630 <p>A new insight into cell signals that control cancer growth and migration could help in the search for effective anti-cancer drugs. A 苹果淫院-led study reveals key biochemical processes that advance our understanding of colorectal cancer, the third most common cancer among Canadians.</p> Wed, 12 Aug 2020 14:33:05 +0000 shirley.cardenas@mcgill.ca 233578 at /newsroom /newsroom/channels/news/mcgill-research-team-studies-how-calcium-compounds-accumulate-arteries-284352 <p><span>Team leader Marta Cerruti, using the tools of the Canadian Light Source, has examined the mineralized arteries of genetically modified laboratory mice and found that the pathway in the body that leads to what laypeople call 鈥渉ardening of the arteries鈥� is not what medical experts previously assumed.</span></p> Wed, 31 Jan 2018 16:07:08 +0000 cynthia.lee@mcgill.ca 32911 at /newsroom
