Cancer therapies do not always succeed in eliminating tumor cells. Some of these cells enter a state of senescence—a latent, non-dividing state that is generally irreversible. Others, however, enter a ...

Antibiotic overuse can lead to antibiotic resistance, but classic antibiotic resistance might not completely explain why antibiotics sometimes fail. Sub-populations of bacteria called persister cells ...

Researchers provide the best evidence to date for the clinical significance of bacterial persister cells in the failure of antibiotics, aside from antibiotic overuse leading to resistance. Antibiotic ...

Cancer drugs can shrink fast-growing tumors. But sometimes a few tumor cells survive. These "persister" cells seed new tumors, forcing cancer patients into arduous cycles of testing and treatment. The ...

Antibiotic overuse can lead to antibiotic resistance, but classic antibiotic resistance might not completely explain why antibiotics sometimes fail. Sub-populations of bacteria called persister cells ...

It is well established that glioblastomas are one of the deadliest brain cancers with a median survival rate of about 15 months, according to one estimate. Now new research led by scientists at the ...

A new research paper titled "Targeting of FSP1 regulates iron homeostasis in drug-tolerant persister head and neck cancer cells via lipid-metabolism-driven ferroptosis" has been published in Aging.

Barcelona, 15 January 2025 - Cancer therapies do not always succeed in eliminating tumour cells. Some of these cells enter a state of senescence—a latent, non-dividing state that is generally ...
