A team of researchers at VCU Massey Comprehensive Cancer Center has identified a new pathway through which mutations in the tumor suppressor p53 gene—found very frequently in human tumors—hijack DNA ...

Drs Uzzo, Chung, and Croll of Fox Chase Cancer Center at Temple University Health discuss top presentations from the ASCO Genitourinary Cancers Symposium 2026. The American Society of Clinical ...

A protein tied to ALS and dementia may have a much bigger role in disease than scientists realized. Researchers found that ...

A large international study has mapped the genetic landscape of feline cancers for the first time, revealing striking similarities between tumor-driving mutations in cats, humans, and dogs.

Cancers emerge from many different paths. One path begins early, in embryonic development, when a protein complex called PRC2 ...

A newly discovered genetic switch may allow scientists to dramatically amplify the cancer-killing power of natural immune cells by harnessing the body’s own signaling molecules. Credit: Shutterstock ...

Cancer is caused by faulty genes, but what also shapes a cancer cell's behavior is how a gene's instructions are trimmed and rearranged before they are turned into the proteins that keep a cell alive.

A genetic mutation that helps animals like yaks and Tibetan antelopes survive at high altitudes may hold the key to repairing nerve damage in conditions such as cerebral paralysis and multiple ...
