When cancer cells are physically squeezed, they mount an instant, high-energy defense by rushing mitochondria to the cell ...

Cancer cells possess a remarkable quality called plasticity. This means they can change their form. This ability helps them survive and spread. Cancer cells act like young cells. They can adapt to ...

In tissue biopsies, cancer cells are frequently observed to have nuclei (the cell's genetic information storage) that are ...

Due to the small size and height of the Eva1 molecule, Eva1CAR-T cells can form more effective immune synapses—contact zones between an immune cell and its target tumor cells. The formation of robust ...

Cancer cells have fewer heavy hydrogen atoms in their lipids as compared to healthy cells. The finding unearths a potential geochemical tool for cancer diagnosis in the future. As the daughter of a ...

Cancer can grow slowly or appear suddenly. It happens when cells stop following normal instructions and start behaving badly. For decades, doctors focused on killing these cells using chemotherapy or ...

Borrowing a cancer cell’s disguise, scientists shielded insulin-producing cells from attack by the immune system, a breakthrough that could pave the way for targeted type 1 diabetes treatments without ...

Researchers at MUSC Hollings Cancer Center have discovered a potentially powerful weapon in the fight against head and neck cancers. The new drug, still in preclinical studies, attacks cancer cells ...

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells under the microscope, in purple. There is a serious need for finding better ways to treat AML that comes back after initial treatment. Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR ...
