Cancer begins in your cells, which are the building blocks of your body. Normally, your body forms new cells as you need them, replacing old cells that die. Sometimes this process goes wrong. New cells grow even when you don't need them, and old cells don't die when they should. These extra cells can form a mass called a tumor. Tumors can be benign or malignant. Benign tumors aren't cancer while malignant ones are. Cells from malignant tumors can invade nearby tissues. They can also break away and spread to other parts of the body.

Mitochondria Transfer From Astrocytes Enhances Tumorigenesis in Glioblastoma

Glioblastoma cancer cells use mitochondria from the central nervous system to grow and form more aggressive tumors, according to new Cleveland Clinic-led findings published in Nature Cancer.

How the Natural Process of DNA Repair Fails to Cause Disease

We often come to an understanding of what causes a disease. We know, for example, that cancers are caused by mutations at critical locations in the genome, resulting in loss of control of cell growth.

Research Helps Better Understand How Developing Cells Break Free From Their Tissue of Origin

Cancer's ability to spread throughout the body -; a process known as metastasis -; is responsible for the vast majority of cancer deaths.

Using Mass-Spectrometry-Based Cancer Proteomics Datasets to Discover Potential Therapeutic Targets

A new research perspective was published in Oncotarget's Volume 14 on May 4, 2023, entitled, "Using cancer proteomics data to identify gene candidates for therapeutic targeting."

Researchers Reveal the Initiation and Early Stages of Tube Formation in the Sea Star

One of the most basic and crucial embryonic processes to unfold in virtually every living organism is the formation of hollow, tubular structures of various kinds.

Attaching Microbubbles to Macrophages can Create Tracking Images for Tumor Diagnosis

Macrophages, a type of white blood cell, defend the body by engulfing and digesting foreign particles, such as bacteria, viruses, and dead cells.

Breakthrough "Gene Silencing" Technology Could Revolutionize the Development of DNAzymes

Researchers from the University of California, Irvine have developed a DNA enzyme – or DNAzyme – that can distinguish between two RNA strands inside a cell and cut the disease-associated strand while leaving the healthy strand intact.

T Cells can Fuel Their Ability to Attack Tumors

When you need a bit of motivation, it often has to come from within. New research suggests cancer-fighting immune cells have found a way to do just that.

Experimental Model Sheds Light on Key Cellular Processes Involved in Embryogenesis

Many birth defects and spontaneous abortions occur during the embryonic development stage known as neurulation, yet we have very little insight into how this critical developmental process unfolds in humans.

Patient-Derived Organoids can Help Identify Effective Personalized Cancer Therapies

Researchers created organoids from cancer cells to reduce the need for trial and error in identifying effective cancer treatments in one of many cancer studies scheduled for presentation this week at Digestive Disease Week (DDW) 2023.

Understanding How Interleukin-6 Contributes to Suppress Allergic Asthma and Atopy

The immune system has a biological telecommunications system -; small proteins known as interleukins that send signals among the leukocyte white blood cells to control their defense against infections or nascent cancer.

Discovering Novel Senolytic Compounds with the Power of Artificial Intelligence

A new publication in the May issue of Nature Aging by researchers from Integrated Biosciences, a biotechnology company combining synthetic biology and machine learning to target aging, demonstrates the power of artificial intelligence (AI) to discover novel senolytic compounds, a class of small molecules under intense study for their ability to suppress age-related processes such as fibrosis, inflammation and cancer.

Cancer Stem Cell Test can Accurately Decide More Effective Treatments for Glioblastoma Patients

New multi-institutional phase 3 clinical trial data published May 2 in Cell Reports Medicine found that a cancer stem cell test can accurately decide more effective treatments and lead to increased survival for patients with glioblastoma, a deadly brain tumor.
