Scientists show how folds in epithelial tissue may cue and contribute to the rise of epithelial cancers.

Imagine if medication could travel directly to the source of your illness and unpleasant side effects could be a thing of the past? This is the intriguing promise of nanoparticles!

Cancer is one of the world’s deadliest diseases. While traditional treatments focus on killing these diseased cells, research is exploring a new approach: pushing cancer cells to become healthy cells.

Using an international collection of nearly 900,000 samples, researchers have probed into the biology behind the fairly common loss of an X chromosome in white blood cells.

Researchers find that mutations are not the only drivers of tumor formation and that epigenetic alterations could be involved too.

Researchers have identified a novel trigger for cell death used by cancer cells following treatment.

Researchers have identified a key protein that is involved in the long-term success of immunotherapy for patients with blood cancers.

Researchers have uncovered a genetic variant that is associated with childhood leukemia disparities in Hispanic-Americans.

Knowing the type of brain tumor can help determine how aggressive the surgeon should be in removing it. A new study has created a procedure using machine learning and DNA sequencing to quickly classify tumors and guide the surgery while it is happening.
