When cancer-driving proteins resist various treatments, Northwestern University scientists have uncovered a new solution. Don ...

A dual-action nanomaterial uses cancer’s own chemistry to destroy tumors while leaving healthy cells unharmed.

One way cancer specialists detect the disease is by examining cells and bodily fluids under a microscope, a time-consuming ...

Scientists have discovered why ovarian cancer spreads so rapidly through the abdomen. Cancer cells enlist normally protective abdominal cells, forming mixed groups that work together to invade new ...

Scientists have uncovered a surprising way tumors turn the immune system to their advantage. Researchers at the University of Geneva found that neutrophils—normally frontline defenders against ...

Researchers at the Van Andel Institute suggest that the routes cancer cells use to process different nutrients deeply influence cell behavior. They discovered an alternate, or non-canonical, path by ...

Scientists have identified a mirror-image form of the amino acid cysteine that selectively slows the growth of certain cancers while leaving healthy cells largely unharmed.

KRAS is the most frequently mutated oncogene across all human cancers. Although different KRAS mutations have long been thought to exert the same cancer-driving effects, a new study led by UT ...

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 ...

Blood tests are helpful for monitoring your overall health. But research suggests they can also give us clues about the ...
