Barrett’s esophagus is a condition where the tissue in your lower esophagus becomes damaged. It starts to resemble the tissue in your intestine. Doctors call this process intestinal metaplasia. The ...

In Barrett's esophagus, normal esophageal squamous epithelium is replaced by a specialized columnar epithelium. The condition is widespread and incurs patients with a 125-fold greater risk of ...

Scientists have discovered that some cancer cells pretend to be "super fit" to fool normal healthy cells into giving them ...

These regulators are known as MYB, HDAC2, and FOXA2 and when they were suppressed in colon cancer cells, the cells switched back to a normal-like state, removing the cancer threat without ...

GERD can also lead to Barrett’s esophagus where irregular cells form in your esophageal lining. Experts think that a Schatzki ring is your body’s response to too much acid in the esophagus.

Professor Kwang-Hyun Cho's research team of the Department of Bio and Brain Engineering at KAIST has captured the critical transition phenomenon at the moment when normal cells change into cancer ...

How cells become cancerous is a process researchers are still trying to fully understand. Generally, normal cells grow and multiply through controlled cell division, where old and damaged cells ...

Scientists have discovered a molecular switch that can reverse cancer—turning cancer cells back into their healthy counterparts. The revelation by researchers from the Korea Advanced Institute ...

Professor Kwang-Hyun Cho's research team from the Department of Bio and Brain Engineering has developed a groundbreaking technology that can treat colon cancer by converting cancer cells into ...
