Some cancer cells don't die; they go quiet, like seeds lying dormant in the soil. These "sleeper cells," scattered throughout the body, can stay inactive for years. But when the body faces a ...

Researchers found that pancreatic pre-cancer cells mimic dementia by forming clumps of proteins due to faulty recycling processes. These insights could shed light on why pancreatic cancer develops so ...

New research shows that cancer cells don’t just grow; they adapt when stressed. When squeezed inside tissues, they transform into more invasive, drug-resistant versions of themselves. A protein called ...

Cancer Research UK-funded scientists have uncovered dementia-like behavior in pancreas cells at risk of turning into cancer. The findings provide clues that could help in the treatment and prevention ...

Researchers have identified ways in which chemotherapy can damage healthy cells and found that some drugs can add decades of "age" to otherwise normal blood cells. When you purchase through links on ...

Scientists at UCLA have developed an “off-the-shelf” cell-based immunotherapy that was able to track down and kill pancreatic cancer cells even after they had spread to other organs. In a mouse study, ...

Cancer cells are known to reawaken embryonic genes to grow. A new study reveals the disease also hijacks the proteins, or "editors," that control how those genes are read. The findings, published in ...

Cancer cells can brainwash their neighbors. Like the CIA deploying secret agents to turn an enemy, tumors use a similar strategy to manipulate nearby cells. The tumors’ agents are mitochondria, the ...

On the morning of Jaiwen Hsu’s stem cell transplant in November 2023, the atmosphere in the hospital felt electric. Doctors had never before tried what they were going to attempt with someone like Hsu ...
