Researchers at the VIB-KU Leuven Center for Microbiology and the VIB-KU Leuven Center for Brain & Disease Research have ...

They also study the phenomenon of tumor-cell dormancy, in which tumor cells can quietly resist anti-cancer treatments before beginning to grow anew — sometimes years later. Our research extends beyond ...

Cancer therapies do not always succeed in eliminating tumour cells. Some of these cells enter a state of senescence—a latent, ...

Some of these cells enter a state of senescence—a latent, non-dividing state that is generally irreversible. Others, however, enter a state known as "persistence," where dormancy is temporary ...

Communication between oocytes and granulosa cells is essential for oocyte formation, dormancy, reawakening, and maturation. Researchers have demonstrated that a protein complex called the exocyst ...
