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 ...

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 ...

Colorectal cancer breaks the usual immune rules, with certain regulatory T cells linked to improved survival. In many solid tumors, having a large number of regulatory T (Treg) cells is linked to ...

Results of a VHIO led study show that up to 90% of chronically hypoxic patients have an EPAS1 alteration in their tumor, a gene critical for adapting to lack of oxygen in populations living at ...

Researchers have unlocked a way to grow the immune system’s “conductors” from stem cells, bringing ready-made cancer-fighting therapies a big step closer. For the first time, scientists at the Univers ...

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 ...
