Study finds new, unexpected mechanism of cancer cell spread

July 24, 2023
Researchers from the Keck School of Medicine of USC used imaging techniques to study how the protein GRP78 controls cancer cell behavior. In the top row, human lung cancer cells were engineered to over-express GRP78 in the nucleus. In the bottom row, cells lacked GRP78 in the nucleus. The green staining depicts the cytoskeletal protein F-actin which controls cell shape and motility and the blue staining depicts the nucleus. (Image courtesy of Ze Liu, Ph.D, and Amy Lee, PhD)

Study shows how liver cancer hijacks circadian clock machinery inside cells

Pictured is an artist’s rendering of circadian clock proteins BMAL1 and CLOCK influencing hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cell proliferation. The study shows that in humans, HCC cells rely on BMAL1 and CLOCK for sustained cell growth. Targeting clock proteins provides a new pathway to develop novel cancer therapies. (Image: Julia E.
