It’s early morning and a team of more than 20 professionals cram around a long table in a dark room, […]
Computational imaging: Looking to immune cell shapes to predict how well body will fight lung cancers
Researchers at Case Western Reserve University have discovered how to quickly and accurately predict which lung cancer patients will benefit […]
Study links BAP1 protein to tumor suppression in kidney, eye, bile duct and mesothelioma cancers
Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have shown how BRCA-associated protein 1 (BAP1) serves as a […]
Same mutations underpin spread of cancer in individuals
Scientists have arrived at a key understanding about how cancers in individual patients spread, or metastasize, a study from the […]
Insight into development of lung cancer
Lung cancer is the leading cause of preventable cancer death. A disease of complex origin, lung cancer is usually considered […]
Byproducts of ‘junk DNA’ implicated in cancer spread: Emerging class of RNAs keep tumor-promoting genes turned on
The more scientists explore so-called “junk” DNA, the less the label seems to fit. Only an estimated two percent of […]
Cancer-fighting drugs also help plants fight disease
Cancer-fighting drugs used on humans can help plants fight disease as well. That discovery, by two Washington State University plant […]
Disrupted nitrogen metabolism might spell cancer
Nitrogen is a basic building block of all the body’s proteins, RNA and DNA, so cancerous tumors are greedy for […]
Biologists discover process that neutralizes tumors: Finding could bolster immune system’s defense against invading cancer cells
Researchers from the University of California San Diego have identified an unexpected mechanism that could help determine whether a cancer […]
Altered gene regulation is more widespread in cancer than expected
A large-scale study provides new insights into the mechanisms that can lead to cancer. It can happen when genes mutate, […]
