Scientists have discovered that a rare “mirror-image” version of the amino acid cysteine can dramatically slow the growth of ...

Scientists at Oregon State University have engineered a powerful new nanomaterial that zeroes in on cancer cells and destroys them from the inside out. Designed to exploit cancer’s unique ...

Normally, the immune system recognizes and eliminates abnormal cells. However, cancer cells can develop strategies to evade this control: they block defense mechanisms or send inhibitory signals. In ...

Cancer cell-derived small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) can travel from distant tumors through the bloodstream and kidneys ...

Metastasis occurs when cancer cells break away from the original tumor and travel through the bloodstream to form new tumors in other parts of the body. It is the leading cause of cancer-related death ...

Wei Gu, PhD After more than a decade of research, scientists have discovered the natural mechanism behind a novel form of ...

Scientists at University of California, San Diego (UCSD), have developed a new approach to destroying cancer stem cells (CSCs)—the hard-to-find cells that help cancers spread, come back after ...

Some cancer cells don't die; they go quiet, like seeds lying dormant in the soil. These "sleeper cells," scattered throughout the body, can stay inactive for years. But when the body faces a ...

A chronological map of the fetal brain reveals when key cells emerge and provides clues about autism and cancer.
