Dementia-Like Behavior Discovered in Pre-Cancerous Cells

Wait 5 sec.

Scientists have found that precancerous pancreas cells may behave like dementia-affected brain cells, forming toxic protein clumps when their recycling system falters. Scientists have identified dementia-like activity in pancreatic cells that are at risk of becoming cancerous. These findings may provide important insights for developing strategies to treat and prevent pancreatic cancer, a particularly hard-to-treat [...]
