Yale researchers are sifting through a mosaic of cells in a living animal — both normal cells and mutated cells — to better understand how cancer grabs a foothold. But they’re starting by studying ...

A newly identified interaction between ovarian cancer cells and surrounding abdominal cells helps explain the cancer’s ...

Researchers at the Université libre de Bruxelles, ULB define for the first time how the cancer cell of origin controls invasive and metastatic properties of tumor cells. Tumor heterogeneity describes ...

Small cell lung cancer is one of the most aggressive and deadly forms of lung cancer commonly associated with smoking. Now, researchers at Duke Health have uncovered a surprising new origin of the ...

A new study reveals that small cell lung cancer (SCLC) likely begins in basal stem-like cells rather than in neuroendocrine cells, marking a major shift in the understanding of this aggressive disease ...

The idea that stem cells - special cells that divide to repair and generate tissues - might be the major determinant of cancer risk has provoked great debate in the scientific community. Some ...

Immunotherapy, which uses programmed immune cells to selectively destroy cancer cells, has transformed cancer treatment. However, cancer cells have developed immune evasion strategies, leading to poor ...

A cancer drug target already being investigated in clinical trials turns out to be doing something even more consequential ...

For the first time ever, a patient has received an allogeneic stem cell transplant using a deceased donor graft as part of a blood cancer clinical trial at Huntsman Cancer Institute at the University ...
