A dual-action nanomaterial uses cancer’s own chemistry to destroy tumors while leaving healthy cells unharmed.

Researchers at The Institute of Cancer Research, London, have uncovered how the DNA repair enzyme XPF-ERCC1 is recruited to sites of damage and activated inside cells, resolving a long-standing ...

A new study reveals a simple and fast, label-free way to distinguish aggressive cancer cells by how they physically behave.

Decades ago, doctors created a test to determine which breast cancer patients should receive hormone therapy. Now, ...

Scientists have discovered that T cell receptors activate through a hidden spring-like motion that had never been seen before. This breakthrough may help explain why immunotherapy works for some ...

Researchers at the Keck School of Medicine of University of Southern California (USC) have developed a new type of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell that elicits a more controlled immune response ...

Researchers uncovered a powerful weakness in lung cancer by shutting down a protein that helps tumors survive stress. When this protein, FSP1, was blocked, lung tumors in mice shrank dramatically, ...

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 ...
