A new mechanism makes it possible to understand premature ageing in cells with asymmetrical cell division, as is the case with mother cells. Understanding this mechanism is useful for studying and, in the future, anticipating the development of ageing-related diseases, such as cancer and neurodegenerative processes.
Read moreBioengineer's smart surgical microscope shows promise for more accurately and quickly identifying cancer cells in the operating room.
Read moreX-rays could be tuned to deliver a more effective punch that destroys cancer cells and not harm the body.
Read moreNew research found that oncogene SET/TAF1, which was found to be a proto-oncogene of acute myeloid leukemia (AML), contributes to proper chromosome partitioning as a tension sensor. Additionally, abnormal SET protein disrupts tension sensor system at the centromere, leading to missegregation of the chromosomes and thereby cancer. These findings may lead to a discovery for a new kind of leukemia treatment.

Read moreAnti-epileptic medicine can curb the dangerous communication and possibly be part of future treatment.
Read moreA cluster of interacting proteins that are active in both human cancers and Tasmanian devil facial tumours, may give clues to how cancers evade the immune system, according to a new study.
Read moreA new discovery about pancreatic cancer sheds light on how the cancer fuels its growth and may help explain how promising cancer drugs work — and for whom they will fail.
Read moreInvestigational drug with immunotherapy may provide new therapeutic opportunity for patients previously treated for kidney and lung cancer. Pegilodecakin with pembrolizumab and nivolumab shown to be safe in Phase 1B study.
Read moreUsing a new technique that can identify genetic profiles of individual cells, researchers modeled a breast cancer tumor's potential resistance to a drug, and then identified a drug combination that reversed that resistance.
