Tracking how cancer cells develop in real time How these differences in the genome and in epigenetic control arise in cells, and how they are passed on to their daughter and granddaughter cells, has ...

The immune system provides constant surveillance for the body, aiming to spot and eliminate disease-causing microbes or ...

Cancer cells respond to stress with greater diversity. Drugs that affect DNA replication, or radiation that causes direct DNA damage, lead to increasingly diverse offspring over multiple cell ...

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 ...

Inflammation hasto fight pathogens fast—but it can't get out of control. Researchers at the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) have now deciphered in more detail how the organism masters this ...

A vitamin A byproduct has been found to quietly disarm the immune system, allowing tumors to evade attack and weakening ...

Georgetown University's Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center researchers have identified a new way to reprogram T cells, ...

Even with breakthroughs, treatment for advanced squamous cell carcinoma is more complex. Patients often need more than one treatment. Many patients with this advanced cancer are cared for by a team of ...

Scientists have presented a new approach to cancer treatment using mast cells, which are immune cells known for their ability ...

Cancer is a disease that starts with uncontrolled cell division and eventually causes tissue and organ damage. The disease ...

Cells are the smallest units of life. But even within the same tissue or organ, they are not all identical. New variations arise continuously during cell proliferation. While genetic mutations alter ...
