New NE-AFM method measures nuclear stiffness in living cells. It shows cancer nuclei change softness with chromatin and environment, aiding diagnosis and treatment. By employing a technique called ...

Researchers found an antibody that seems to play a role in people with better lung cancer prognoses, but turning it into a ...

Cancer cells that have broken away from a primary tumor can lurk in the body for years in a dormant state, evading immune ...

Decades ago, doctors created a test to determine which breast cancer patients should receive hormone therapy. Now, researchers are using the same tactics to advance prostate cancer treatment.

Neuroblastoma cancer cells before (left) and after (right) chemotherapy. The black threads are the cell's internal scaffolding, which breaks apart during treatment. This damage should kill the cell, ...

In a microscope-lined classroom at Sheldon High School in Sacramento, students aren't just learning about science — they're ...

Researchers at the Nano Life Science Institute (WPI-NanoLSI), Kanazawa University, report in ACS Applied Nano Materials a new method to precisely measure nuclear elasticity—the stiffness or softness ...
