Hari Krishnan R, SRM Institute of Science and Technology An Epithelial-Mesenchymal transition is a reversible event that occurs in embryonic development and cancer. As indicated by the name, this process involves the conversion of epithelial cells to mesenchymal cells. Cells undergoing this process are highly capable of migration, proliferation, and differentiation into various cell types. […]
Vaishnavi Kardale, Bioinformatics Centre, Savitribai Phule Pune University To grow, cells have to divide. A single cell divides into two, and then four, and so on. Finally, we turn into a body with trillions of cells. Each cell undergoes differentiation to get its specialized function. From this, it might be quite clear how essential cell […]
Prama Ghosh, Amity University Kolkata Recent studies have shown that tumor invasion and progression are enhanced by the interaction of tumor cells with the surrounding tissues. To study the same, molecular microarray analyses of human Gastric cancer cell lines NUGC-3 co-cultured with platelets for 48 h were performed. Functional analyses of the interaction between NUGC-3 […]
In the last decade it has been seen that cancer has become really widespread, yet it has got no complete treatment as such till date. However, the therapeutic approach “chemotherapy” has saved the lives of millions. With the advent of the concept of “chemotherapeutic resistance”, the progress in the field of treatment of cancer has […]
