A research team has identified a new mechanism that controls DNA’s ability to replicate—and thereby a cell’s ability to ...

For almost 60 years, scientists have tried to understand why DNA doesn't replicate wildly and uncontrollably every time a ...

Combining statistical modeling with flow cytometry enables reliable, high-throughput quantification of division asymmetry in live cells, revealing how partitioning noise may shape tumor cell ...

The cancer gene MYC camouflages tumours by suppressing alarm signals that normally activate the immune system. This finding ...

A hidden clue may explain why some mutated cells become cancerous and others don’t: how fast they divide. A new study from researchers at Sinai Health in Toronto reveals that the total time it takes ...

Pancreatic cancer may evade the immune system not by accident but by actively switching off internal danger signals through ...

Researchers discovered that a long-misunderstood protein plays a key role in helping chromosomes latch onto the right “tracks” during cell division. Instead of acting like a motor, it works more like ...

Tumor cells collected during the removal of a cancerous bladder and - in some cases - transplanted into mice with weakened immune systems, could help physicians rapidly identify high-risk cancers, ...

The history of cancer research is long, stretching back to 1713 when physician Bernadino Ramazzini observed that nuns faced ...
