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 small number of cancer cells with the ability to change their identities and behaviors appear to be a key driver of cancer ...

Yale researchers are sifting through a mosaic of cells in a living animal — both normal cells and mutated cells — to better understand how cancer grabs a foothold. But they’re starting by studying ...

Many cancer drugs work by inhibiting the activity of proteins — the molecules that do most of the work in the cell. But some misbehaving proteins that turn normal cells cancerous are difficult to ...

Professor Kwang-Hyun Cho's research team of the Department of Bio and Brain Engineering at KAIST has captured the critical transition phenomenon at the moment when normal cells change into cancer ...

Of all the types of breast cancer, triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is the most aggressive and lacks specific therapies.

Scientists have discovered a molecular switch that can reverse cancer—turning cancer cells back into their healthy counterparts. The revelation by researchers from the Korea Advanced Institute of ...

How would you summarize your study for a lay audience? Research on gastrointestinal diseases, especially cancer, has mainly looked at the epithelial cells, which line the surfaces of organs, are ...

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 ...

In a world-first breakthrough, scientists have discovered how a sugary “cloak” helps bowel cancer hide from the immune system, and how stripping it away could turn the body’s anti-cancer defenses back ...
