A Weill Cornell Medicine team has found that triple-negative breast cancer depends on the enzyme EZH2 to spread. By silencing key genes, EZH2 drives chaotic cell divisions and fuels metastasis.

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 ...

Centrosomes serve as the principal microtubule organising centres in animal cells, playing a pivotal role in orchestrating cell division, ensuring accurate chromosome segregation and maintaining ...

New findings reveal that succinate signaling through SUCNR1 acts as a protective brake in acute myeloid leukemia. Modulating this pathway influenced disease progression in mice and may guide future ...

After staining, cells and their nuclei can be imaged, analyzed and tracked using microscopy. This enables the researchers to watch mitosis in real time and track progress of individual cells. When ...

When cell division (mitosis) takes too long, it can be a sign that something is wrong with the cells, for example DNA damage or chromosomal instability. That's why our cells come with an innate ...

Loss of the Y chromosome in aging men is widespread and increasingly linked to serious diseases, challenging assumptions that ...

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

Researchers from Japan, discover mitochondrial transfer from cancer cells to immune cells and metabolic reprogramming of the tumor microenvironment as a key immune evasion strategy. Targeting ...
