Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) refer to cancer cells that have broken off from a primary tumor. These tumor cells can travel ...

Researchers have discovered a way to make the immune system's T cells significantly more effective at fighting cancer. By ...

In the same vein as weather forecast models that predict developing storms, researchers now have developed a method to predict the cell activity in tissues over time.

The risk of cancer goes up with age, in part because aging impedes the body's ability to detect and destroy cells with damaged DNA. Aging also comes with cumulative damage to cells; low-grade, chronic ...

He made a conceptual leap in immunotherapy by creating a hybrid T-cell, known as CAR-T, that was genetically modified to ...

Cancer cells can acquire energy-generating structures called mitochondria from nearby nerve cells, which seems to aid their spread, a discovery that could lead to new treatments ...

Each time a cell divides, a small section of each chromosome's protective cap—the telomere—is worn away. Most cells use an enzyme called telomerase to help mitigate this loss, but 10% to 15% ...

Scientists in Japan have discovered that a natural compound found in a type of ginger called kencur can throw cancer cells into disarray by disrupting how they generate energy. While healthy cells ...
