Pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) are a type of stem cell capable of developing into various cell types. Over the past few decades, scientists have been working towards the development of therapies using ...

Currently, the research fields of eosinophils and eosinophil-related diseases are in the state of renaissance. The view that eosinophils are terminally differentiated cells with limited functions has ...

Cancer is often considered a disease of aging. Older adults are at higher risk because they have had more time to accumulate ...

Cancer is commonly linked to both chemical-induced tumor development—exposure to environmental pollutants which are typically metabolized in the body, and can change their ability to be ...

Researchers at City of Hope have found that cell mutations are necessary but not always sufficient for tumors to form. Instead, they suggest that additional risk factors that promote tumor growth, ...

A group of scientists at VCU Massey Comprehensive Cancer Center has revealed a new genetic code that acts like a cancer ringleader, recruiting and deploying a gang of tumor cells to incite a ...

A study published in the journal Science reveals how jumping fragments of human DNA, a type of genetic parasite, destabilize the cancer genome. Unstable genomes are a fertile playground for cancer ...

Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers and the second leading cause of cancer-related death in men worldwide. However, the mechanisms controlling the early stages of prostate cancer ...

Research provides new evidence that most colorectal cancers begin with the loss of intestinal stem cells, even before cancer-causing genetic alterations appear. The results overturn the prevailing ...

Epigenetic readers frequently affect gene regulation, correlate with disease prognosis, and hold significant potential as therapeutic targets for cancer. Zinc finger MYND-type containing 11 (ZMYND11) ...

Cancer is often considered a disease of aging. Older adults are at higher risk because they have had more time to accumulate cellular damage that can trigger tumor formation. But as cancer rates in ...

Researchers have discovered that fibroblasts, called myCAFs, send out signals to attract nerve fibers, creating a favorable environment for cancer to grow within pancreatic lesions. Now, Nigri and his ...
