Cancer doesn’t evolve by pure chaos. Scientists have developed a powerful new method that reveals the hidden rules guiding how cancer cells gain and lose whole chromosomes—massive genetic shifts that ...

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 ...

The prevalence of metastasis belies the arduous journey that cancer cells must make to achieve it. A cell that arises in, say, the breast, is well adapted to live there: to eat the fatty acids ...

Every cell in the human body has a job. Some help us breathe, some help us move, and others help us heal when we are hurt. These cells grow, divide and die in a ...

HER2-mutated non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a rare form of lung cancer where the cancer cells have a mutation that makes them grow and divide in an uncontrolled way. You can best understand ...

Can pollution cause it? What about inflammation? And how do tumors spread? Here’s what scientists are learning about this complex disease. By Nina Agrawal Every day, billions of cells in our body ...
