Scientists discover how 'winning cell' guides blood vessel growth

Cancer Research UK scientists have found for the first time that cells compete with each other to guide the 'sprouting' and growth of blood vessels, and they have identified how the balance of key receptors on cells control this process.

Scientists reveal gut stem cell secrets

Cancer Research UK scientists have discovered that gut stem cells replace each other in a 'one in, one out' system, which is completely different to previously accepted theories. The research is published online in Science today.
