Sydney, Australia – Researchers have discovered how the mechanical properties of tumours can prime cancer cells to better survive their spread to other organs. A metabolic ‘survival switch’ controlled by the stiffness of triple-negative breast tumours can significantly influence how successfully their cancerous cells spread to other organs, according to...
New Haven, CT – Gaucher disease treatment has come a long way in the past three decades. The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the first enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) in 1991. That first approval opened the door for other ERT treatments and paved the road for substrate...
