An oncology student has shocked TikTok with a viral video that offers a glimpse into how quickly cancer cells can grow. The microscope footage, shared by Sophie Williams, 23, a final-year PhD student ...

Cancer cells that have broken away from a primary tumor can lurk in the body for years in a dormant state, evading immune ...

Researchers at the Nano Life Science Institute (WPI-NanoLSI), Kanazawa University, report in ACS Applied Nano Materials a new method to precisely measure nuclear elasticity—the stiffness or softness ...

Immunotherapy, which uses programmed immune cells to selectively destroy cancer cells, has transformed cancer treatment. However, cancer cells have developed immune evasion strategies, leading to poor ...

Glucose is the fuel to the cellular engine. It powers the cell’s functions and serves as the raw material for synthesizing various essential biomolecules, including the sugar backbone of DNA and RNA.

When cancer cells are physically squeezed, they mount an instant, high-energy defense by rushing mitochondria to the cell nucleus, unleashing a surge of ATP that fuels DNA repair and survival. This ...

The first line of treatment for cancer is, whenever possible, to remove the cancerous tissue from the body. Though often ...

Researchers found flu and COVID infections can awaken dormant cancer cells in mice and humans. Inflammation, IL-6 signaling, and immune cell dynamics were central to the reactivation process. Human ...

New NE-AFM method measures nuclear stiffness in living cells. It shows cancer nuclei change softness with chromatin and environment, aiding diagnosis and treatment. By employing a technique called ...
