UC researcher focuses on studying how gene mutations help pancreatic cancer grow

Only about 11% of people will survive five years after the detection of advanced pancreatic cancer. Such a low rate of success in treating pancreatic cancer is due to its late detection and an incomplete understanding of the disease development processes.

Ceramides start to accumulate in muscle during aging, finds study

A study carried out at the University of Helsinki and école Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne in Switzerland found that during aging, ceramides, a class of fat molecules called sphingolipids, start to accumulate in muscle, impairing its function.

Researchers discover a protein that makes melanoma more aggressive

Research led by Queen Mary University of London, King's College London and the Francis Crick Institute has identified a protein that makes melanoma, the most serious type of skin cancer, more aggressive by giving cancer cells the ability to change the shape of their nucleus – a characteristic which allows the cells to migrate and spread around the body.
