The 'cell of origin' of the second most common lung cancer and the way that it becomes dominant in the lung have been discovered, in a new study in mice and humans from researchers at UCL, the ...

The study, published in Science, found that a population of basal cells found in the trachea (windpipe) outcompetes other cell types and becomes dominant, eventually invading and occupying large ...

Get Instant Summarized Text (Gist) Lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC), the second most common lung cancer in smokers, originates from Krt5-expressing basal cells in the trachea. These cells ...

the researchers labeled cells in the trachea of mice to observe them over time. They exposed some of them to carcinogens, and monitored changes in airway cells. In the mice exposed to carcinogens, the ...

They found that a population of basal cells in the trachea eventually outcompetes other cell types, pushing them out, becomes dominant, and invades and populates whole lobes of the lung.

Those cancers begin in other types of tissue, such as: Basal cell carcinoma. This is the most common form of all cancers. It occurs in cells lining the deepest part of the skin's outer layer.

Neuroendocrine cells in the larynx and trachea, which make up the passageway from the mouth to the lungs, can sense water and acid passing through, a team reports in the April 19 Science.

A biopsy confirmed that the lesion was basal cell carcinoma, Biden’s physician, Dr. Kevin O’Connor, said in a memo released Friday by the White House. No other treatment is required ...

The study, published in Science, found that a population of basal cells 1 found in the trachea (windpipe) outcompetes other cell types and becomes dominant, eventually invading and occupying large ...
