A protein once thought to simply help cancer cells avoid death turns out to do much more. MCL1 actively drives cancer ...

Cancer’s deadliest talent is not rapid growth but the ability to sidestep the internal programs that should make damaged cells self-destruct. Across multiple labs, researchers are now converging on a ...

Cells are regularly faced with environmental stresses that may damage or destroy them. To survive, they quickly adjust their gene expression to protect themselves. This is especially true for cancer ...

One of the ways scientists are trying to improve cancer treatments is by better equipping the body's own immune system to ...

A brief, intense workout may do more than boost fitness—it could help fight cancer. Researchers found that just 10 minutes of ...

Cells fine-tune gene expression in response to cellular stress, a process critical for tumor progression that leads to cancer. However, elucidating mechanisms governing stress-responsive transcription ...

Immunotherapies that mobilize a patient’s own immune system to fight cancer have become a treatment pillar. These therapies, including chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy, have performed ...

The study, published in British scientific journal Nature, suggests that the disease may begin in basal stem cells — ...

A multi-institutional team of researchers led by Case Western Reserve University has identified a pattern of clustered genetic changes that appear to encourage growth of colorectal cancer tumors—a ...

Long before a liver tumor appears, a high-fat diet can push liver cells into a risky survival mode. That is the central ...
