Cellular senescence has long been portrayed as one of the body’s most dependable defenses against cancer. When a cell’s telomeres wear down, when an oncogene such as RAS or BRAF fires abnormally, or ...

Gastric (stomach) cancer remains one of the most common and deadly cancers in East Asia, including Korea. Yet despite its high prevalence, it has received far less molecular attention than colorectal ...

For years, much of cancer research has focused on understanding the tumor itself — how cancer cells grow, what causes them to change and how those cells can be targeted with treatment. But researchers ...

Senescent fibroblasts are aging cells in connective tissue that no longer divide and protect against tumor development. Yet, these same cells can promote cancer growth in a laboratory setting. Until ...

A feature of pancreatic cancer cells’ surroundings determines whether they grow fast or become resistant to chemotherapy, a new study shows. The ability of these cancer cells to adapt quickly and ...

A new study by the Garvan Institute of Medical Research has uncovered a hidden mechanism explaining why breast cancer can return many years after successful treatment. Published in Nature ...

Scientists in Canada have uncovered a surprising weakness in glioblastoma, one of the deadliest brain cancers. They found that certain brain cells—once believed to only support healthy nerves—can ...

Cancer adapts and overcomes many different obstacles in order to survive. Since tumors are masses of rapidly growing cells, it takes a lot of nutrients, signaling, and proteins to help maintain ...

Researchers at NYU Langone Health propose a model that could explain how cancer cells adapt to environmental stress, an approach that may lead to new therapies. Published online April 15 as the cover ...

A feature of pancreatic cancer cells' surroundings determines whether they grow fast or become resistant to chemotherapy, a new study shows. The ability of these cancer cells to adapt quickly and ...
