All-optical Mechanobiology Interrogation of Yes-associated Protein in Human Cancer and Normal Cells using a Multi-functional System
Published on: December 20, 2021
Abstract:
Clinicians have long been aware of the influence of the neuro-endocrine axis and the action of the hypothalmus on the humoral immune response in the origin and course of cancer. Little attention has been paid, however, to the psychophysiologic aspects of cancer. These psycho-social effects may be related to hypothalamic activity, the autonomic nervous system, and neuro-endocrine activity. More attention should be paid to the manipulation of the psyche in the prevention and management of cancer.

Some of the advantages that cancer cells have on normal cells include - enhanced ability to divide without terminally differentiating, induce new blood vessel formation,...
Cancer Therapies
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...
