Researchers at NYU Abu Dhabi have discovered that a single cancer-causing gene can trigger different responses in cells, with ...

Cancer cells provide healthy neighboring cells with additional cell powerhouses to put them to work, researchers report. Tumors have developed many strategies and tricks to gain advantages in the body ...

Programmed cell death, or apoptosis, is essential for renewing our tissues and keeping our bodies running smoothly. Every day, millions of your cells perform their swan song—tidily out of the way, ...

Researchers have created tiny metal-based particles that push cancer cells over the edge while leaving healthy cells mostly unharmed. The particles work by increasing internal stress in cancer cells ...

• BTK inhibitors are a type of targeted therapy for mantle cell lymphoma that works by blocking a specific enzyme, BTK, which is crucial for the cancer cells’ survival and spread. This interference ...

A protein involved with cell death can be manipulated to slow or reverse tumor growth, a pair of new studies in mice found. A colorized three dimensional micrographic scan of a melanoma cell. Recent ...

Cancer treatment has come a long way, but many of today’s therapies still come with steep costs: not just financial, but physical and emotional too. Chemotherapy and radiotherapy remain vital tools, ...

CAR-T cells must overcome cancer’s many defenses in order to mount an effective attack. Lulu Perez, CC BY-SA You might think of cancer as a mass of rogue cells that grow uncontrollably. But cancer is ...
