MYC: The Gene That Can Cause Cancer
In this short video, we explore the MYC oncogene, a gene that plays a critical role in cell growth and division. We explain how MYC normally functions and what happens when it becomes overactive, leading to uncontrolled cell proliferation and potentially cancer. Learn why MYC is a key target for cancer research and the potential for new therapies.

The Hidden World Within the Tumor
Просмотров 903 месяца назад
In the dense, complex ecosystem of the rainforest, every organism-no matter how small-plays a vital role. And within our bodies, another ecosystem exists. A hidden world of trillions of microorganisms living in harmony, and sometimes, in conflict. This invisible world can be a friend... or a foe. Today, we journey into a revolutionary idea: the tumor microbiome-an emerging frontier in cancer re...
How Inflammation Fuels Cancer (Tumor Microenvironment Explained)
Просмотров 2133 месяца назад
Beneath the surface of every living organism, a silent war rages. A war fought by cells, immune systems, and molecules... and in the heart of this battleground, inflammation has emerged as a double-edged sword. Once viewed as a mere response to injury or infection, scientists slowly unraveled its darker side-its critical role in cancer's development and progression. #cancer101#cancerbiology #tu...

Like their healthy counterparts, cancer stem cells can self-renew and differentiate. However, their differentiation potential fuels tumor heterogeneity, creating a complex mix of cell types within the tumor mass. #cancer101 #science101 #cancerstemcells #stemcells #cancercells #cancerresearch #tumormicroenvironment #patienteducation 0:00 Introduction 0:10 Seeds of Malignancy 0:20 What are Cancer...

Tumor Dormancy | The Deceptive Lull of Cancer
Просмотров 1,1 тыс.9 месяцев назад
Deep within tumors, a curious phenomenon unfolds. Some cancer cells enter a state of dormancy, seemingly putting their growth on hold. Research suggests several factors might influence dormancy. Low oxygen levels, nutrient deprivation, and even the body's immune response could play a role in pushing cancer cells into this hidden state. The Phoenix Paradox: How Dormant Cancer Cells Rise from the...
The Recipe for Fire | Science 101
Просмотров 779 месяцев назад
Carbon-hydrogen bonds store potential energy. When the kindling reaches a high enough temperature, these bonds break, releasing the stored energy as light and heat. During combustion, oxygen reacts with the broken-down hydrocarbons, forming new molecules like carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O). This reaction releases even more energy, sustaining the fire. It's a self-perpetuating cycle - fuel...
