A newly proposed model suggests cancer cells may resist treatment not just through genetic mutations, but by dynamically ...

Researchers at NYU Langone Health propose a model that could explain how cancer cells adapt to environmental stress, an ...

Researchers at Umeå University have contributed new insights into how cancer cells protect themselves from cell death. The study provides a deeper understanding of how key proteins interact within the ...

The stiffness of tumour tissue plays a role in how cancer spreads. Furthermore, stiff tumour tissue leaves traces in the ...

Researchers have discovered how cells activate a last-resort DNA repair system when severe damage strikes. When genetic tangles overwhelm normal repair pathways, cells flip on a fast but error-prone ...

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 ...

Cancer cells can brainwash their neighbors. Like the CIA deploying secret agents to turn an enemy, tumors use a similar strategy to manipulate nearby cells. The tumors’ agents are mitochondria, the ...

Circulating tumor cells were first described in 1869 by Thomas Ashworth, an Australian pathologist who observed them in a peripheral blood sample taken from a patient with metastatic cancer. 1 They ...
