A trio of mRNA molecules could help guard against the harmful effects of aging on immune cells, a study in mice finds. A new ...

Scientists have long suspected connections between heredity and disease, dating back to Hippocrates, who observed certain diseases "ran in families." However, through the years, scientists have kept ...

Researchers have identified adaptive traits in cancer cells that help tumors resist immunotherapy drugs after extended targeted treatment, revealing new hurdles to effective cancer treatment. A ...

A hidden clue may explain why some mutated cells become cancerous and others don’t: how fast they divide. A new study from researchers at Sinai Health in Toronto reveals that the total time it takes ...

A study led by researchers at Moffitt Cancer Center found that normal cells surrounding a tumor, known as cancer-associated ...

Cancer cells that have broken away from a primary tumor can lurk in the body for years in a dormant state, evading immune ...

Cells are not immortal, and that is a good thing. After a certain number of divisions, many human cells stop multiplying for good. They enter a state called replicative senescence, where growth ceases ...

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have created a method that makes it possible to transform the brain’s support cells ...

Researchers found flu and COVID infections can awaken dormant cancer cells in mice and humans. Inflammation, IL-6 signaling, and immune cell dynamics were central to the reactivation process. Human ...

Researchers have identified ways in which chemotherapy can damage healthy cells and found that some drugs can add decades of "age" to otherwise normal blood cells. When you purchase through links on ...

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells under the microscope, in purple. There is a serious need for finding better ways to treat AML that comes back after initial treatment. Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR ...
