Tumours have developed many strategies and tricks to gain advantages in the body. Led by cell biology professor Sabine Werner, researchers at ETH Zurich have now discovered another surprising trick ...

Researchers are targeting dormant tumour cells that might explain why some cancers reappear long after successful treatment.

Cancer therapy and synthetic biology are converging around a shared problem that has long frustrated oncologists and ...

Researchers have created tiny metal-based particles that push cancer cells over the edge while leaving healthy cells mostly unharmed. The particles work by increasing internal stress in cancer cells ...

The immune system provides constant surveillance for the body, aiming to spot and eliminate disease-causing microbes or ...

A new international study led by the Gray Faculty of Medical & Health Sciences at Tel Aviv University finds: melanoma cancer ...

Long before a liver tumor appears, a high-fat diet can push liver cells into a risky survival mode. That is the central ...

Immune cells work to fight infection and other diseases. Different subsets work together to elicit a healthy immune response; ...

By moving around, some cancer cells force attacking immune cells to just nibble at the edges rather than engulf them ...
