How cancer cells repair themselves Most cancer cells use an enzyme called telomerase to rebuild their telomeres. In this study, Dr. Ashley Harman from CMRI's Cell Biology Unit discovered that a ...

As tumors outgrow their blood and nutrient supplies, or respond to treatments like chemotherapy and radiotherapy, individual ...

Cancer tumors are surrounded by immune cells, but not all of those cells help the body fight back. Some support anti-cancer ...

For the past 15 years or so, a class of drugs called immune checkpoint inhibitors have been used to treat melanoma – the most ...

Cancer cells provide healthy neighboring cells with additional mitochondria to put them to work. This has been demonstrated by researchers at ETH Zurich in a new study. In this way, cancer is ...

Tumours have developed many strategies and tricks to gain advantages in the body. Led by cell biology professor Sabine Werner, researchers at ETH Zurich have now discovered another surprising trick ...

Researchers at NYU Langone Health propose a model that could explain how cancer cells adapt to environmental stress, an approach that may lead to new therapies. Published online April 15 as the cover ...

Scientists have pinpointed a “Big Bang” moment in bowel cancer—when cells first evade the immune system. This early immune escape locks in how the cancer will behave as it grows. The discovery could ...

The discovery challenges the long-standing idea that early humans mainly evolved and survived in open grasslands, coasts, or other less demanding environments.

From infections and allergies to brain diseases and autoimmune disorders, a wave of trials offers hope ...

Researchers have solved a long-standing mystery about why physical forces slow cancer growth—and the answer could reshape how the disease is treated. A multidisciplinary team from University of Galway ...

Scientists, funded by Cancer Research UK, have now passed another hurdle, bringing the test closer to patient use ...
