New Delhi, Apr 24: The mechanical load from the constant beating of the heart could be helping in consistently suppressing the growth of cancer cells, according to a new study, which offers an explanation as to why cancer of the blood-pumping organ is rare. Cellular pathways in tissues of the heart alter gene regulation in cancer cells to keep them from proliferating, researchers said. Findings published in the journal Science shed light on how mechanical forces could be important in […]
