A new multimillion-pound study is set to investigate the intricate mechanisms of cellular "light switches" believed to play a crucial role in the development of cancer . Researchers at the University of Dundee aim to unravel the signals that govern cell division, a fundamental biological process vital for growth and injury repair within the human body. While it is understood that cells activate or deactivate signals to divide, scientists are particularly intrigued by why certain signals must "flash" continuously on and off for proper cellular division. This rhythmic signalling dictates cell behaviour, and any malfunction in this process could lead to serious health issues, including the onset of cancer. The team hope that by decoding these previously hidden signals, they can gain a clearer understanding of accurate cell division, pinpoint how this essential process goes awry in diseases like cancer, and ultimately pave the way for more effective treatment strategies.…
