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

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

A Weill Cornell Medicine team has found that triple-negative breast cancer depends on the enzyme EZH2 to spread. By silencing key genes, EZH2 drives chaotic cell divisions and fuels metastasis.

Cancer cells are pretty bold and clever—they hijack cellular survival and healing processes in order to fuel their growth, ...

In a pair of studies, investigators from the lab of Huiping Liu, MD, Ph.D., associate professor of Pharmacology and of Medicine in the Division of Hematology and Oncology, have uncovered how specific ...

MIT and Harvard scientists have created engineered CAR-NK cells that can hide from the immune system and more effectively ...

By learning to adjust these biological “brakes” with precision, medicine is entering a new era. Treatments inspired by these ...

New research shows lymph nodes aren’t just cancer bystanders, they’re the command centers fueling immune attacks. Surgically removing them along with tumors may weaken treatment, while preserving them ...

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, ...

Cells bumping against one another use electricity to identify which of their neighbors has the least energy to expel them. The King's College London study in partnership with the Francis Crick ...

Lung cancer causes cancer cells to develop a tumor in the lungs' tissues. Lung cancer occurs in stages, and stage 3 occurs when cancer cells spread into other areas of the chest. In the earlier stages ...
