Using high-throughput single-cell DNA sequencing, a new technique developed by USC researchers and 10x Genomics may offer a higher resolution view into cancer not possible before -- potentially paving the way for new treatment approaches…

Because of how aggressively they divide, cancer cells have an increased demand for building materials and energy. They meet these added demands by altering their metabolism -- taking in larger amounts of fuel, for example.…

Protein research A research team from the Prodi Centre for Protein Diagnostics at Ruhr-Universität Bochum (RUB) has used infrared (IR) microscopes based on quantum cascade lasers to classify tissue samples of colorectal cancer from…

Technique combines ultrasound application and tumor-targeted microbubbles that attach to cancer cells and explode An international research team led by Dr. Tali Ilovitsh of the Biomedical Engineering Department at Tel Aviv…

Fresh insights into why some harmful substances are so efficient at causing cancer could aid the quest for better treatments. New research reveals how chemicals can cause changes in cells to help them dodge the body's immune…

Yale researchers have discovered a "jamming signal" that blocks a powerful immune system stimulant called interleukin-18 (IL-18) from reaching tumors, including in cancers that are resistant to conventional immunotherapy…

A new study in JNCI: Journal of the National Cancer Institute finds that breast cancer screening using digital mammography technology is not associated with improved health outcomes when compared to older film detection technology. In…

Mystery about the cancer drug nelarabine solved after decades In the current issue of Communications Biology, Professor Jindrich Cinatl from the Institute for Medical Virology at Goethe University and Professor Martin Michaelis from the…

New data from a landmark study by Monash University researchers raises concerns that even short-term exposure to low level air pollution can affect gene expression, leaving us at risk of diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular and…
