Cell movement is an essential biological process, whether it's cancer cells metastasizing to other parts of the body or ...

A research team from the University of Osaka, in collaboration with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, has uncovered ...

Borrowing a cancer cell’s disguise, scientists shielded insulin-producing cells from attack by the immune system, a breakthrough that could pave the way for targeted type 1 diabetes treatments without ...

Ohio State researchers have discovered that exhausted T cells collapse under the weight of misfolded proteins, activating a destructive stress response called TexPSR. Unlike normal stress systems, ...

IN THE POPULAR imagination, cancer starts with a mutation in the DNA of a normal cell. That mutation allows the cell to multiply uncontrollably, circumventing the body’s usual quality-control checks.

Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) refer to cancer cells that have broken off from a primary tumor. These tumor cells can travel through the blood in the circulatory system and lodge themselves in other ...

Investigators from Mass General Brigham have developed a way to promote antitumor immunity by hijacking cellular machinery within cancer cells.

Scientists at University of California San Diego have developed a new approach to destroying cancer stem cells—hard-to-find cells that help cancers spread, come back after treatment and resist therapy ...

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells under the microscope, in purple. There is a serious need for finding better ways to treat AML that comes back after initial treatment. Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR ...
