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 ...

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 ...

Scientists at Scripps Research, with collaborators in Japan, have discovered how a "poisoned" form of a protein could set off a cascade of events that encourage the growth of some cancers. The ...

Researchers discovered that in a rare kidney cancer, RNA builds droplet-like hubs that act as growth control centers inside tumor cells. By engineering a molecular switch to dissolve these hubs, they ...

I still recall my disappointment one day in 2015. I received the tumor DNA sequencing results for one of my patients, whose cancer had spread from her lungs to her brain. I saw not a single genetic ...

Alcohol consumption leads to the formation of a toxic compound called acetaldehyde, which damages DNA. A research team from ...

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. Clots are the second-leading cause ...

Overuse of smartphones can have a variety of side effects — but is brain cancer one of them? "Cell phones are ubiquitous, and concern about the radiation they emit can cause fear of brain tumor ...
