A new study reveals a simple and fast, label-free way to distinguish aggressive cancer cells by how they physically behave.

Cells in the human body accumulate cancer-promoting mutations throughout their lifespan, yet these mutations rarely drive tumour formation. Tumours in a given tissue usually originate from a specific ...

Scientists at Nagoya University in Japan studied what happens when macrophages—a type of immune cell—encounter dying cancer cells in tumors and discovered a mechanism that accelerates tumor growth.

Cancer cells rapidly adapt to treatments, developing resistance that makes chemotherapy less effective. Researchers used an existing anti-inflammatory drug to disrupt cancer cells’ ability to adapt by ...
