In a tale of identities as divergent as "The Prince and the Pauper," a well-known cancer-causing gene also influences cells ...

A domestic research team is developing an anticancer technology that attacks DNA mutations found only in cancer cells while leaving normal cells unharmed. Unlike existing targeted anticancer drugs, ...

Scientists have discovered that a rare “mirror-image” version of the amino acid cysteine can dramatically slow the growth of certain cancers while leaving healthy cells largely untouched. Unlike most ...

Scientists have identified a molecular switch that may help explain how colorectal cancer becomes deadly. When levels of a gene-regulating factor called GATA6 drop, cancer cells can shed their normal ...

Scientists found centromere DNA sitting at telomeres in ALT cancers, a merger of chromosome regions once thought impossible.` ...

A counterintuitive discovery published today is reshaping how scientists think about one of cancer's most common genomic events: when a cell accidentally duplicates its entire DNA supply and fails to ...

A two-headed molecule designed by Stanford Medicine researchers hijacks one of the most common protein drivers of B-cell ...

Researchers at Columbia University have discovered a new type of cell that protects lung cancers from attacks by the immune system.

Although increased cell proliferation is a hallmark of cancerous tissues, in some cases it may actually protect against tumor ...

Biological sex factors into cancer in ways you might not expect. In lung cancer, a form called squamous cell carcinoma disproportionately affects males while adenocarcinoma occurs more frequently in ...

People who live to 110 years and older have large populations of a rare type of immune cell that can kill cancer 1, finds a ...
