#medindia #cancer #metastasis’ More than half of cancer patients in whom the cancer spreads beyond the primary site have lung metastases. What makes the lungs such a tempting place for cancer cells?

A new study by researchers from the Vlaams Instituut voor Biotechnologie (VIB)-KU Leuven Center for Cancer Biology (CCB), Belgium, has identified one reason lung metastases are so common ...

Sarah-Maria Fendt (VIB-KU Leuven) and colleagues have uncovered that the availability of the amino acid aspartate is one reason why the lung is a frequent organ of metastasis. Their work appears ...

Researchers from the lab of Prof. Sarah-Maria Fendt (VIB-KU Leuven) and colleagues have uncovered that the availability of the amino acid aspartate is one reason why the lung is a frequent organ of ...

An amino acid appears to make the lungs more likely to have cancer spread to them from elsewhere in the body Aspartate triggers a genetic cascade that helps cancer grow aggressively Drugs that ...

This makes it possible to analyse molecular changes caused by tumours, whether primary or metastatic, as well as injuries such as a traumatic brain injury. The molecular flashlight is a probe less ...
