Cancer cells possess a remarkable quality called plasticity. This means they can change their form. This ability helps them survive and spread. Cancer cells act like young cells. They can adapt to ...

A study led by researchers at Moffitt Cancer Center found that normal cells surrounding a tumor, known as cancer-associated fibroblasts, can help lung cancer cells survive targeted drug therapy by ...

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 ...

Researchers have discovered how cells activate a last-resort DNA repair system when severe damage strikes. When genetic tangles overwhelm normal repair pathways, cells flip on a fast but error-prone ...

How spreading tumour cells gain the ability to grow in organs away from where they originated is not fully understood. The discovery that normal liver cells help invading tumour cells to thrive in ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. In a trailblazing advancement in cancer therapy, researchers at Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) have ...

New study find that our natural killer cells -- from the immune system which protect against disease and infections -- instinctively recognize and attack a protein that drives cancer growth.

Cancer immunotherapies, including cancer vaccines, harness and amplify the immune system’s natural ability to detect and attack cancer cells. In this illustration, immune T cells (pink) attach to a ...
