That superhero is a gene called TP53, and for decades scientists have known it as the “guardian of the genome.” In a healthy cell, TP53 acts like both a brake and an emergency stop button. When DNA ...

Scientists have developed an AI system that analyzes complex gene-expression signatures to estimate the likelihood that a tumor will spread.

A lack of vitamin B2 makes tumour cells more susceptible to a unique form of cell death. This was discovered by researchers at the Rudolf Virchow Centre at the University of Würzburg.

Purdue University researcher Emily Dykhuizen explores how cancer takes advantage of the machinery that surrounds DNA, enabling some of its most pernicious powers, like the ability to evade the immune ...

Across the animal kingdom, evolution has opened the door to a growing scientific quest to understand what a menagerie of ...
