Scientists have discovered that a rare “mirror-image” version of the amino acid cysteine can dramatically slow the growth of ...

Spermidine, a polyamine, has been linked to longer lifespans, improved health, and lessening memory loss with age, and it’s ...

Cancer is caused by faulty genes, but what also shapes a cancer cell's behavior is how a gene's instructions are trimmed and ...

A group of natural compounds attracting attention for their anti-aging potential has a dark side. New research shows how a ...

A researcher suggests cancer may be influenced by metabolism rather than genetics alone. Learn how glucose, glutamine, mitochondria, and blood sugar levels may affect tumour growth and cancer ...

A new study led by researchers at Adelaide University and published in Science Advances reveals why some cancers can grow and survive in the body, while others cannot. It turns out that intense ...

We are what we eat. While both the beneficial and detrimental effects of diet on health are well-documented, from boosting ...

Researchers will investigate how a common dietary nutrient may control a hidden layer of gene regulation in cancer cells.

A severe case of COVID-19 or influenza could increase the risk of lung cancer later on, according to new research. Scientists discovered that serious viral infections can alter immune cells in the ...

Severe forms of COVID-19 or influenza can trigger the development of lung cancer years after recovery. This was reported on ...

For five decades, scientists have known about a notorious cancer-causing enzyme called SRC. But they always assumed it only ...
