A new CRISPR-based tool that is directly used on patients' cancer cells can identify genes and regulatory elements driving acute myeloid leukemia (AML), an aggressive blood cancer affecting the bone ...

One way cancer specialists detect the disease is by examining cells and bodily fluids under a microscope, a time-consuming ...

A fleeting DNA fold called i‑DNA can switch cancer‑related genes on and off, revealing a hidden structural weak point that ...

Immunotherapy, which uses programmed immune cells to selectively destroy cancer cells, has transformed cancer treatment. However, cancer cells have developed immune evasion strategies, leading to poor ...

A feature of pancreatic cancer cells' surroundings determines whether they grow fast or become resistant to chemotherapy, a new study shows. The ability of these cancer cells to adapt quickly and ...

With cancer cases rising sharply across India, the search for more precise, less invasive and patient-friendly treatments has ...

A research team has discovered a crucial mechanism that underlies chemotherapy resistance and metastasis in small cell lung ...

The so-called guards are tumor macrophages. Under normal conditions, macrophages serve as first responders, helping fight infections and repair tissue damage. Inside tumors, however, these cells are ...

Some cancer cells don't die; they go quiet, like seeds lying dormant in the soil. These "sleeper cells," scattered throughout the body, can stay inactive for years. But when the body faces a ...

Scientists at UCLA have developed an "off-the-shelf" cell-based immunotherapy that was able to track down and kill pancreatic cancer cells even after they had spread to other organs. In a mouse study, ...
