Researchers at Moffitt Cancer Center have developed a new way to predict how cancer cells evolve by gaining and losing whole chromosomes, changes that help tumors grow, adapt and resist treatment. In ...

Senescent fibroblasts are aging cells in connective tissue that no longer divide and protect against tumor development. Yet, these same cells can promote cancer growth in a laboratory setting. Until ...

Scientists at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) and their colleagues are shedding new light on a tumor’s earliest moments — revealing how lung cells with cancer-causing mutations recruit ...

Moffitt Cancer Center researchers have developed ALFA-K, a new tool that they say can predict how cancer cells survive and compete. This new algorithm offers a potential roadmap for more effective, ...

“There has never really been an integrated explanation as to why cancer cells develop plasticity,” said Antonio Iavarone, M.D. “That’s what our study does. We’ve now revealed how the plasticity of ...

A team of Walter and Eliza Hall Institute researchers has worked out how a new class of anti-cancer drugs kills cancer cells, a finding that helps explain how cancer cells may become resistant to ...

Researchers have found hundreds of metabolic enzymes attached to human DNA inside the cell nucleus. Different tissues and cancers show unique patterns of these enzymes, forming a “nuclear metabolic ...

A small molecule inside your body quietly fuels life every day. It helps your cells turn fat into energy, keeping your heart beating and your muscles moving. Now, scientists have found a way to watch ...

Circulating tumor cells were first described in 1869 by Thomas Ashworth, an Australian pathologist who observed them in a peripheral blood sample taken from a patient with metastatic cancer. 1 They ...

After nearly 100 years of development, treatments that bolster the body's immune system to fight cancer are coming of age – ...

“The association between fat accumulation, cancer aggressiveness and poor patient outcomes has been identified for decades in breast and other cancers,” Andolino said. “But how those fats accumulate ...
