There has been a missing puzzle piece in phase separation and its role in cancer. Now, researchers at the University of North Carolina (UNC) at Chapel Hill and the UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer ...

Researchers have discovered the key role of the extracellular environment in dictating the ability of mutated cells to induce cancer formation. To form a cancer, cells need to accumulate oncogenic ...

The mechanism by which breast cancer is formed in the cells of mammalian epithelium has been discovered. Although roughly 20 mutations accumulate annually in each epithelial cell until menopause, the ...

Researchers at Moffitt Cancer Center have developed a novel biomaterial-based system that induces the formation of tertiary lymphoid-like structures, or TLSs. These immune cell clusters are ...

Researchers from A*STAR Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology (A*STAR IMCB) have identified markers of two critical stem cell populations that drive colorectal cancer formation. Colorectal cancer is ...

Gastric cancer ranks among the leading malignant tumors worldwide in both incidence and mortality. Its early symptoms are often atypical, and diagnosis frequently occurs at advanced stages, resulting ...

Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers and the second leading cause of cancer-related death in men worldwide. However, the mechanisms controlling the early stages of prostate cancer ...

Blood clots form in response to signals from the lungs of cancer patients—not from other organ sites, as previously thought—according to a preclinical study by Weill Cornell Medicine, Memorial Sloan ...

Researchers at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD), School of Medicine have discovered a molecular pathway critical to the initiation of pancreatic tumors. The mechanism could also ...
