Cancer cell biology unravels the molecular and cellular underpinnings of tumour formation, progression and metastasis. At its core, cancer arises as a result of dysregulated cell cycle control, ...

Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) is traditionally known for its role in terminating neurotransmission by hydrolysing acetylcholine at synaptic junctions. However, a growing body of research reveals that ...

Scientists have uncovered an unexpected reason why some cancers return after initially responding to treatment.

A new CRISPR-based tool that is directly used on patients' cancer cells can identify genes and regulatory elements driving acute myeloid leukemia (AML), an aggressive blood cancer affecting the bone ...

Scientists have identified a mirror-image form of the amino acid cysteine that selectively slows the growth of certain cancers while leaving healthy cells largely unharmed.

New understanding of how cancer cells survive, thrive, and metastasize has enabled researchers to create new targeted therapies for cancer treatments, such as melanoma and Kaposi's sarcoma, to ...

A new paper published in Nature on June 4 shines light on how an enigmatic part of male aging—the loss of Y chromosomes—is connected with a higher risk of dying from cancer. In an analysis of 4,127 ...

The remote control doesn’t trigger the self-destruction of the CAR T cells, but simply prompts them to disengage from their cancerous targets.

Circulating tumor cells were first described in 1869 by Thomas Ashworth, an Australian pathologist who observed them in a peripheral blood sample taken from a patient with metastatic cancer. 1 They ...

Best thing about my Dickinson experience so far: "One of the highlights of my time at Dickinson has been working in Associate ...

Spatial biology first entered the omics scene about a decade ago. Since then, the technology has generated significant buzz both inside and outside of the lab—beyond its contributions to science. The ...
