Researchers at Moffitt Cancer Center have developed a new way to predict how cancer cells evolve by gaining and losing whole chromosomes, changes that help tumors grow, adapt and resist treatment. In ...

In a development that could transform how scientists study cancer, neurodegeneration and inflammation, researchers have invented a new sensor that enables MRI machines to visualize molecular activity ...

Scientists are developing cancer-eating bacteria designed to grow inside oxygen-free tumors and attack cancer from within.

A cancer drug class best known for attacking tumors may also help your immune system remember them better. Researchers at ...

Scientists have uncovered new genetic rules that determine whether the immune system’s “killer” T cells remain powerful long-term defenders or become worn out and ineffective. By building a detailed ...

HeLa cells are the most famous human cells in science. Discover how cervical cancer, HPV proteins, and bioethics shaped one ...

Cambridge scientists have shown that when tumors first emerge, interactions with healthy cells in the underlying supportive tissue determine their ability to survive, grow, and progress to advanced ...

Researchers at the National University of Singapore (NUS) have identified a protein called tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) as ...

Researchers at the National University of Singapore (NUS) have identified a protein called tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) as a potential "switch" that can modulate a type of cancer cell death known ...

Scientists have discovered why ovarian cancer spreads so rapidly through the abdomen. Cancer cells enlist normally protective abdominal cells, forming mixed groups that work together to invade new ...
