Mechanical properties of cells and tissues play an important role in many physiological processes, including cell adhesion and migration, interaction with extracellular matrix, embryogenesis, wound ...

A gastrointestinal oncologist told Newsweek that the early-stage findings are a “major step forward” in targeting colon ...

Loss of GATA6—a transcription factor that controls which genes are turned on or off—can reprogram colorectal cancer cells ...

You might think of cancer as a mass of rogue cells that grow uncontrollably. But cancer is more organized and strategic than ...

Adoptive T cell transfer therapy remains limited by the inability to monitor live tumour cell dynamics during treatment. Here we introduce a real-time, label-free phenotyping system that integrates ...

Immunotherapies – treatments that aim to make the body's natural immune system more effective – are becoming more widely used ...

Scientists have discovered that a rare “mirror-image” version of the amino acid cysteine can dramatically slow the growth of certain cancers while leaving healthy cells largely untouched. Unlike most ...

When cancer cells are physically squeezed, they mount an instant, high-energy defense by rushing mitochondria to the cell nucleus, unleashing a surge of ATP that fuels DNA repair and survival. This ...

For the past 15 years or so, a class of drugs called immune checkpoint inhibitors have been used to treat melanoma – the most dangerous kind of skin cancer. For many patients, they produce remarkable ...

Scientists at the Garvan Institute of Medical Research have captured, for the first time, 'housekeeping' immune cells actively attacking and engulfing live melanoma cells – a discovery that could ...

A cancer cell begins to die, and for the first time, a researcher can watch the exact moment it happens. New fluorescent dyes described in two peer-reviewed studies published in spring 2026 are giving ...
