Tracking how cancer cells develop in real time How these differences in the genome and in epigenetic control arise in cells, and how they are passed on to their daughter and granddaughter cells, has ...

A small number of cancer cells with the ability to change their identities and behaviors appear to be a key driver of cancer ...

Researchers have found a reliable way to grow helper T cells from stem cells, solving a major challenge in immune-based ...

Cells are the smallest units of life. But even within the same tissue or organ, they are not all identical. New variations arise continuously during cell proliferation. While genetic mutations alter ...

Senescent fibroblasts are aging cells in connective tissue that no longer divide and protect against tumor development. Yet, these same cells can promote cancer growth in a laboratory setting. Until ...

A research team has made a breakthrough in epigenetic drug discovery. The researchers have successfully developed a ...

A study led by Aaron Hobbs, Ph.D., and Rachel Burge, Ph.D., at MUSC Hollings Cancer Center, reveals why a specific gene ...

Scientists have presented a new approach to cancer treatment using mast cells, which are immune cells known for their ability ...
