Mayo Clinic researchers have identified a protein that acts like a traffic controller for DNA, preventing damage during cell ...

Elite experts have developed new 'natural killer' cells to fight off a form of cancer impacting 90,000 Americans a year and lower the risk of disastrous immune effects from chemotherapy.

Background: Schlafen family member 11 (SLFN11) has been implicated in cancer biology and immune modulation, but its expression patterns, prognostic value, and role in tumor immunity in melanoma remain ...

New research shows that cancer cells don’t just grow; they adapt when stressed. When squeezed inside tissues, they transform into more invasive, drug-resistant versions of themselves. A protein called ...

Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have discovered how a hormone interacts with a receptor on the surface of immune cells to shield cancer cells from the body's natural defenses. The ...

State Key Laboratory of Discovery and Utilization of Functional Components in Traditional Chinese Medicine, Shanghai Frontiers Science Center of TCM Chemical Biology, Institute of Interdisciplinary ...

Ever since we started holding our cell phones up to our ears, there have been concerns that the radio waves they emit could cause cancer. While this makes sense in a Black Mirror kind of way—and some ...

In the march of metastasis, a molecular trail of crumbs guides some cancer cells from the primary tumor to establish new colonies within the body. Blocking the cells' ability to follow the trail might ...

Background: Glutamine metabolic reprogramming is a hallmark of tumor progression and is highly correlated with poor clinical outcomes. The excessive uptake of glutamine by tumor cells is a key factor ...

New research finds exercise—specifically two types—causes the release of elements that may prevent cancer cell growth. Even one exercise session made a difference. Doctors say more research is needed, ...
