Uusi koetin tekee näkyväksi syöpäsolun viestinnän, tutkijat voivat käyttää tietoa rintasyövän leviämisen estossa - InFLAMES-lippulaiva Turun yliopistossa ja Turun biotiedekeskuksessa toimiva tutkimusryhmä on kehittänyt tavan kuvata leviävien rintasyöpäsolujen soluviestintää.

Syövän nykyisillä lääkkeillä ei voida estää syövän leviämistä. Tilanne saattaa muuttua, sillä tutkijamme ovat kehittäneet tavan kuvata syöpäsolun sisäistä signalointia, joka on edellytys solun liikkumiselle.

Syöpä | Johanna Ivaska selvittää, miksi kaikki ihmiset eivät sairastu syöpään – ”Kukaan ei pysty suojaamaan itseään täysin” Kaikissa ihmisissä jotkut syövän esiasteet eivät kehity koskaan syöväksi, sanoo syöpätutkija Johanna Ivaska. Hän sanoo, että ihmiset voivat itse vaikuttaa syövän syntyyn korkeintaan kohtuullisesti.

Niin, miksi kaikki tupakoitsijat eivät sairastu keuhkosyöpään eikä uskollisinkaan auringonpalvoja välttämättä saa melanoomaa🤔. Tutkijamme Johanna Ivaskan mielenkiintoinen haastattelu @hs.fi :ssä (tilaajille).
