Cancer cells survive therapy by dynamically rewiring their metabolism in response to nutrient availability, ...

Changing the shape of breast cancer cells could make the disease more sensitive to treatments - even driving the body's own inflammatory response against a tumour - a new study shows. Scientists at ...

Cancer cells with a cell nucleus that is easily deformed are more sensitive to drugs that damage DNA. These are the findings of a new study by researchers at Linköping University in Sweden. The ...

One characteristic oncologists use to describe tumors is how “aggressive” they become. This term suggests a tumor forms, grows, or spreads quickly. Unfortunately, more aggressive tumors typically have ...

Immunofluorescence microscopy images display dendritic cells in two distinct states. The left panel shows a dendritic cell in its naïve, unactivated form. The right panel presents a dendritic cell ...

Scientists at the Institute of Cancer Research (ICR) in the U.K. are developing a technology that analyzes, in vitro, how the 3D morphology of cancer cells changes when exposed to a compound, using AI ...

The immune system provides constant surveillance for the body, aiming to spot and eliminate disease-causing microbes or ...

Wendy Brooks, a survivor of extensive-stage small cell lung cancer, and her husband and care partner, Larry Brooks, spoke ...

About two millennia ago, the Greek physicians Hippocrates and Galen suggested that melancholia—depression brought on by an excess of "black bile" in the body—contributed to cancer. Since then, scores ...

Senescent skin cells, often referred to as zombie cells because they have outlived their usefulness without ever quite dying, have existed in the human body as a seeming paradox, causing inflammation ...
