Cancer is caused by faulty genes, but what also shapes a cancer cell's behavior is how a gene's instructions are trimmed and ...

Researchers at the Van Andel Institute suggest that the routes cancer cells use to process different nutrients deeply influence cell behavior. They discovered an alternate, or non-canonical, path by ...

An enigmatic type of circulating tumor cell called a dual-positive (DP) cell is associated with shorter survival time in patients with advanced breast cancer, according to a study led by investigators ...

A newly discovered gene switch may help turn chemotherapy-resistant pancreatic cancer into a treatable disease.

New research published in Nature finds that tumor cells within supratentorial ependymomas (SE) – an aggressive childhood brain cancer – cluster into distinct tumor cell populations. Much like a ...

T cell lymphomas are notoriously difficult to treat because immunotherapy, despite being one of the most effective therapies for treating cancer, can't easily distinguish cancerous T cells from ...

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

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 ...

A researcher suggests cancer may be influenced by metabolism rather than genetics alone. Learn how glucose, glutamine, mitochondria, and blood sugar levels may affect tumour growth and cancer ...

A hidden clue may explain why some mutated cells become cancerous and others don’t: how fast they divide. A new study from researchers at Sinai Health in Toronto reveals that the total time it takes ...
