A team at Huntsman Cancer Institute at the University of Utah (the U) has uncovered a previously unrecognized molecular ...

P-cadherin is a protein commonly found on malignant cancer cells and has been used as a target for antibody-based cancer treatments. UC Davis biomedical engineers have discovered that when an antibody ...

Cell signaling is crucial for cells to communicate and function correctly. Disruptions in these pathways, caused by genetic mutations or environmental factors, can lead to uncontrolled cell growth, ...

MIT engineers have developed a new way to amplify the T-cell response to mRNA vaccines—an advance that could lead to much ...

A newly discovered molecule disrupts cancer cells’ ability to repair DNA by triggering the breakdown of key proteins. Cancer ...

New research has identified a protein that could serve as both a biomarker and therapeutic target to weaken stem-like cancer cells responsible for colorectal cancer relapse.

A newly identified weakness in “zombie” cells may open the door to more precise cancer treatments by turning their own ...

Aspirin reduces the risk of colon cancer recurrence after surgery, but only in patients with a specific genetic marker ...

A microscope image of lung cancer cells (purple) containing the activated form of a metabolic enzyme called GUK1 (brown) that supports cancer growth. Researchers discovered the importance of an enzyme ...

Scientists uncover an enzyme that boosts cancer cell metabolism to fuel growth. The enzyme, GUK1, supports metabolism in cancer cells to help tumors grow. Lung cancer is a particularly challenging ...
