Brazilian researchers have found that stellate pancreatic cells produce periostin, which reshapes surrounding tissue and allows tumors to spread more easily, helping explain why the disease is so ...

Researchers at Moffitt Cancer Center have developed a new way to predict how cancer cells evolve by gaining and losing whole ...

As we get older, chemical marks on our DNA slowly shift. Now, a study reveals this 'drift' in gut stem cells is fueled by ...

Cancer often infiltrates a person’s life long before anyone knows it. By the time symptoms arise and an examination indicates the worst, the disease has often been growing for months and sometimes ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

A molecule produced by cancer cells can shield the brain from Alzheimer’s disease in mice. For decades, researchers have ...

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