contribute to blood vessel dysfunction in chronic diseases such as cancer, diabetes and fibrosis. The findings could change how these diseases are treated. Researchers at Oregon Health & Science ...
Judah Folkman's most significant findings in a career rife with discoveries was that cancerous tumors appear to trigger the growth of new blood vessels, which the tumors need to thrive.
Researchers focused on a protein in peanuts called Peanut Agglutinin (PNA). When you eat peanuts, this protein enters your bloodstream. The study found that PNA may play a role in helping cancer ...
By replicating conditions like tissue stiffening and scarring — common in aging, chronic diseases and cancer — the researchers discovered that perivascular cells drive blood vessel leakage and ...
The cancer microenvironment, or tumour microenvironment, describes the non-cancerous cells present in the tumour. These include fibroblasts, immune cells and cells that comprise the blood vessels.
He also believed that the tumor secreted some mystery factor that stimulated new blood vessels to form, bringing nutrition to the tumor and allowing it to grow. But Dr. Folkman went even further ...
