Scientists have discovered that a rare “mirror-image” version of the amino acid cysteine can dramatically slow the growth of ...

Scientists have discovered that cells can sense far beyond the surfaces they touch. While individual cancer cells can probe about 10 microns ahead by tugging on surrounding collagen fibers, clusters ...

Normally, the immune system recognizes and eliminates abnormal cells. However, cancer cells can develop strategies to evade this control: they block defense mechanisms or send inhibitory signals. In ...

Cholesterol enhances melanoma cell invasion by making nuclei squishier, revealing a potential treatment target in cancer progression.

Metastasis occurs when cancer cells break away from the original tumor and travel through the bloodstream to form new tumors in other parts of the body. It is the leading cause of cancer-related death ...

This new type of immunotherapy shows promise for treating different cancers including prostate cancer, leukaemia and lung ...

Scientists at University of California, San Diego (UCSD), have developed a new approach to destroying cancer stem cells (CSCs)—the hard-to-find cells that help cancers spread, come back after ...

Despite decades of advancements in surgical techniques, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy, the clinical outlook for patients diagnosed with primary brain tumors remains sobering. Whi ...

A team led by researchers at Baylor College of Medicine has identified flavonoids, natural compounds found in plants, that are toxic to bladder cancer cells cultured in the lab. The researchers report ...
