Scientists may have discovered another way the human body tries to protect itself from cancer. New research on mice suggests that the heart's constant beating may prevent tumor growth in cardiac ...

The results of a study by researchers at the International Centre for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology (ICGEB) suggest that the heart’s constant beating may actively suppress tumor growth in ...

The beating of the heart stops cancers from growing in this organ in mice, reports a study published today in Science 1. This could explain why tumours affecting the heart are so rare in mammals, ...

The heart’s constant beating may actively suppress tumor growth in cardiac tissues, a new study reports. This is because cellular pathways in these tissues alter gene regulation in cancer cells to ...

Our hearts beat around 100,000 times a day—and do so throughout our entire lives. They draw the energy for this from the mitochondria. As the "powerhouses of the cells," mitochondria produce 95% of ...
