The first clinical trial to test the tumour-fighting power of a stem-cell-like class of long-lived immune cells suggests that ...

A new study led by NYU Langone Health researchers has found that cancer cells are better able to resist treatments when they ...

Our immune systems have the thankless jobs of guarding us from bacterial and viral invaders and preventing cancer development. Most of the time, we do not notice this hard work because the invaders ...

A simple blood test can reveal the geographic relationships among healthy cells surrounding a cancerous tumor, researchers at ...

A newly identified weakness in “zombie” cells may open the door to more precise cancer treatments by turning their own ...

Scientists have discovered that a rare “mirror-image” version of the amino acid cysteine can dramatically slow the growth of certain cancers while leaving healthy cells largely untouched. Unlike most ...

Mitochondrial dynamics, governed by the interplay of fission and fusion proteins, are essential for maintaining cellular function and homeostasis. Fission facilitates glycolysis, mitophagy, apoptosis, ...

The results, published May 5 in Nature Genetics, offer a new way to understand the molecular roots of cancer — an especially ...

A hallmark of cancerous cells is an abnormal number of chromosomes or chromosome arms, known as aneuploidy. While aneuploidy is detrimental to regular cells, it occurs in as many as 90% of tumors. How ...
