A fleeting DNA fold called i‑DNA can switch cancer‑related genes on and off, revealing a hidden structural weak point that ...

A team of researchers at VCU Massey Comprehensive Cancer Center has identified a new pathway through which mutations in the tumor suppressor p53 gene—found very frequently in human tumors—hijack DNA ...

Researchers have found hundreds of metabolic enzymes attached to human DNA inside the cell nucleus. Different tissues and cancers show unique patterns of these enzymes, forming a “nuclear metabolic ...

Purdue University researcher Emily Dykhuizen explores how cancer takes advantage of the machinery that surrounds DNA, enabling some of its most pernicious powers, like the ability to evade the immune ...

Cancer remains one of the world’s most serious health threats, especially when it spreads beyond its original site. That ...

Cancer begins when mutations in specific genes override the body’s built-in controls on cell division, allowing rogue cells ...

Scientists have identified a crucial molecular switch that decides whether pancreatic cancer cells resist chemotherapy or respond to it. The key player, a gene called GATA6, keeps tumours in a more ...

A new study led by researchers at Adelaide University and published in Science Advances reveals why some cancers can grow and survive in the body, while others cannot. It turns out that intense ...

T cell lymphomas are notoriously difficult to treat because immunotherapy, despite being one of the most effective therapies for treating cancer, can't easily distinguish cancerous T cells from ...

Cancer expert Dr Thomas Seyfried says preventing cancer cell growth involves cutting off their fuel supply: glucose and glutamine. He shares 2 ways to do this.
