Cancer has long been treated as a mass of rogue cells, but the real power lies in the intricate communication networks ...

A team at RMIT University in Melbourne say that extremely small metal particles – which they dub ‘nanodots’ – could be ...

UCLA scientists have characterized the structure and function of a key survival protein in breast cancer cells that helps explain how these tumors resist environmental stress and thrive in acidic, low ...

Scientists have discovered that T cell receptors activate through a hidden spring-like motion that had never been seen before ...

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 ...

University of Iowa-led study has revealed the unexpected structure adopted by the DNA repair protein RAD52 as it binds and protects replicating DNA in dividing cells. A University of Iowa-led study ...

Cancer cells have an insatiable appetite for energy as they multiply more rapidly than normal cells. Greedy cancer cells hijack various cellular functions to find and exploit energy and other ...

When cell division (mitosis) takes too long, it can be a sign that something is wrong with the cells, for example, DNA damage or chromosomal instability. That's why our cells come with an innate ...

CHICAGO — A big breakthrough in cancer research and it’s all due to a tiny structure. The science was developed in Chicago. They took an old drug and made it better. The restructured drug appears to ...

A single signaling pathway controls whether immune cells attack or befriend cells they encounter while patrolling our bodies, researchers at Stanford Medicine have found. Manipulating this pathway ...
