Some tumors eliminate healthy neighboring cells to grow, study reveals
medicalxpress - Chromosomal instability is a common feature in many solid tumors and is associated with greater aggressiveness. For years, its main contribution to cancer was thought to be driving the evolution of tumor genomes, causing cells to gain chromosomes with gro…
AI Summary: Researchers found some tumors actively eliminate neighboring healthy cells to expand and thrive, revealing a brutal but precise survival strategy. Understanding the molecular signals that drive this local cell clearance exposes new therapeutic targets — flip the mechanism and you may stop tumors in their tracks, or at least make cancer's arrogance its downfall.
