A newly proposed model suggests cancer cells may resist treatment not just through genetic mutations, but by dynamically reprogramming their gene activity. Credit: Shutterstock Cancer cells may “learn ...

Cancer cells are known for their “glutamine addiction,” but many can escape this weakness by switching to alternative fuels.

Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is one of the most aggressive and hardest forms of breast cancer to treat, but a new study led by Weill Cornell Medicine suggests a surprising way to stop it from ...

Small, cancer-associated DNA circles "hitchhike" on chromosomes during cell division to spread efficiently to daughter cells by co-opting a process used to maintain cellular identity through ...

Cells are enveloped by a lipid membrane that gives them structure and provides a barrier between the cell and its environment ...

For almost 60 years, scientists have tried to understand why DNA doesn’t replicate wildly and uncontrollably every time a cell divides – which they need to do constantly. Without this process, we ...

As the body ages, cells naturally accumulate dozens of genetic mutations each year. New research from Boston Children's Hospital, published in Cell, finds that the brain's resident immune cells, ...

These discoveries suggest that certain cancer treatments may be useful therapeutically for Alzheimer’s disease.
