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 ...

Researchers have found a reliable way to grow helper T cells from stem cells, solving a major challenge in immune-based ...

A research team has made a breakthrough in epigenetic drug discovery. The researchers have successfully developed a ...

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 ...

A new study led by Aaron Hobbs, Ph.D., and Rachel Burge, Ph.D., at MUSC Hollings Cancer Center, reveals why a specific gene ...

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 ...

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

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

Even with breakthroughs, treatment for advanced squamous cell carcinoma is more complex. Patients often need more than one treatment. Many patients with this advanced cancer are cared for by a team of ...

Scientists have developed a tool that can predict how bowel cancer adapts to treatment – helping researchers to design new personalized drugs that will keep patients living well for longer. A team ...

Cancer is a disease that starts with uncontrolled cell division and eventually causes tissue and organ damage. The disease may arise in any part of th.
