A cancer researcher at the University of Houston is reporting what makes malignant soft tissue cancer grow in children, ...

Gastric (stomach) cancer remains one of the most common and deadly cancers in East Asia, including Korea. Yet despite its high prevalence, it has received far less molecular attention than colorectal ...

Cancer is caused by faulty genes, but what also shapes a cancer cell's behavior is how a gene's instructions are trimmed and rearranged before they are turned into the proteins that keep a cell alive.

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 ...

Published online Feb. 16 in the journal Cell, the new work shows that a main factor determining whether pancreatic cancer cells increase autophagy levels is their ability to detect the extracellular ...

Chromosomal instability is a common feature in many solid tumors and is associated with greater aggressiveness. For years, ...

Cancer always seems to break the rules — defying normal biology and finding new ways to survive, grow, and spread. That ability fascinated Rushika M. Perera, PhD, when she was younger. It’s what ...

A feature of pancreatic cancer cells' surroundings determines whether they grow fast or become resistant to chemotherapy, a new study shows. The ability of these cancer cells to adapt quickly and ...

Researchers at Moffitt Cancer Center have developed a new way to predict how cancer cells evolve by gaining and losing whole chromosomes, changes that help tumors grow, adapt and resist treatment. In ...

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 ...

Left: In normal gastric tissue, gastric epithelial cells rely on growth signals provided by the surrounding microenvironment. In particular, WNT signals — such as WNT2 secreted by neighboring cells — ...

A feature of pancreatic cancer cells’ surroundings determines whether they grow fast or become resistant to chemotherapy, a new study shows. The ability of these cancer cells to adapt quickly and ...
