Lymphomas can turbo-charge their ability to proliferate by crowding growth-supporting enzymes into highly concentrated compartments within tumor cells, according to a study led by researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine.
The environment surrounding the cancerous cells of a lymphoma tumor has a strong influence on the progression of these blood-cell cancers and their responses to therapies.
A gene that originally evolved to help vertebrates’ early ancestors respond to stress is co-opted by cancers to help them resist treatment, according to a study by Weill Cornell Medicine investigators.
