Tracking how cancer cells develop in real time How these differences in the genome and in epigenetic control arise in cells, and how they are passed on to their daughter and granddaughter cells, has ...

The immune system provides constant surveillance for the body, aiming to spot and eliminate disease-causing microbes or ...

Cells are the smallest units of life. But even within the same tissue or organ, they are not all identical. New variations arise continuously during cell proliferation. While genetic mutations alter ...

Senescent fibroblasts are aging cells in connective tissue that no longer divide and protect against tumor development. Yet, these same cells can promote cancer growth in a laboratory setting. Until ...

Colorectal cancer breaks the usual immune rules, with certain regulatory T cells linked to improved survival. In many solid tumors, having a large number of regulatory T (Treg) cells is linked to ...

A vitamin A byproduct has been found to quietly disarm the immune system, allowing tumors to evade attack and weakening ...

Researchers have unlocked a way to grow the immune system’s “conductors” from stem cells, bringing ready-made cancer-fighting therapies a big step closer. For the first time, scientists at the Univers ...

Scientists have presented a new approach to cancer treatment using mast cells, which are immune cells known for their ability ...

Cancer is a disease that starts with uncontrolled cell division and eventually causes tissue and organ damage. The disease ...

Cancer cells respond to stress with greater diversity. Drugs that affect DNA replication, or radiation that causes direct DNA damage, lead to increasingly diverse offspring over multiple cell ...
