Researchers have uncovered an unexpected weakness in pancreatic cancer involving damaged mitochondria and a powerful ...

A new study led by NYU Langone Health researchers has found that cancer cells are better able to resist treatments when they ...

When activated by its target, the newly characterized molecule rips the genome apart, a lethal move that researchers can ...

An epigenetic mechanism by which tumors manage to hide from the body's immune defenses has just been described by an ...

A new study led by NYU Langone Health researchers found that cancer cells are better able to resist treatments when they have ...

CANCERS ARE real biological cheats. Whereas most of the cells in a healthy animal’s body get along by following the same set of genetic rules, cancer cells shamelessly ignore them. Healthy cells, for ...

Stem cells found in the lining of the mouth could help make the most aggressive form of brain cancer easier to treat, ...

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 ...

A new cancer treatment combines LED light and tiny tin flakes to neutralize cancer cells while shielding healthy cells and avoiding the painful side effects associated with chemotherapy and other ...

An international research team led by RMIT University have created tiny particles, known as nanodots, made from a metallic compound that can kill cancer cells while leaving healthy cells largely ...

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 ...

A new kind of CRISPR that destroys cells rather than gene editing them has shown potential for killing sick cells while ...
