NIH-Funded Study Investigates Signals Mediating the Earliest Stages of Cancer Development

NIH-funded study investigates signals mediating the earliest stages of cancer development

The same cellular renewal that keeps our bodies healthy might also fuel the growth of cancer. A UC Merced biologist has found that the brain could hold the key to stopping it.

Decoding Cancer’s Neural Links: NIH-Funded Research Explores Stem Cell

In a groundbreaking exploration that bridges cellular biology with neuroscience, a UC Merced molecular and cell biologist has uncovered intriguing insights into how the brain might serve as a critical regulator in the earliest stages of cancer development. Professor Néstor Oviedo, whose pioneering research is backed by a substantial National Institutes of Health grant exceeding $2 million, is delving into the intricate cellular communication net…
