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

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

Mitochondrial dynamics, governed by the interplay of fission and fusion proteins, are essential for maintaining cellular function and homeostasis. Fission facilitates glycolysis, mitophagy, apoptosis, ...

Spheroids are widely used in oncology for testing drugs, but models composed of a single cell line do not fully capture the complexity of the in vivo tumours targeted by chemotherapy. Developing 3D in ...

The precise detection of breast cancer in histopathological images remains a critical challenge in computational pathology, where accurate tissue segmentation significantly enhances diagnostic ...

A research team led by Professor Kevin Tsia, program director of the Biomedical Engineering Program under the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Hong Kong (HKU), has developed an AI-driven ...

The image shows a metaphase spindle in a human ovarian cancer cell, surrounded by interphase cells. Microtubules are color-coded according to imaging depth, and chromosomes are shown in gray. Most ...

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

Immunotherapy, which uses programmed immune cells to selectively destroy cancer cells, has transformed cancer treatment. However, cancer cells have developed immune evasion strategies, leading to poor ...

Researchers at the University of Maryland School of Medicine (UMSOM) have identified a target that may improve the response to CAR T-cell therapy, a treatment for patients with recurrent or ...

Cancer cells can brainwash their neighbors. Like the CIA deploying secret agents to turn an enemy, tumors use a similar strategy to manipulate nearby cells. The tumors’ agents are mitochondria, the ...

Scientists at the University of Pennsylvania have shown for the first time that it’s possible to detect dormant cancer cells in breast cancer survivors and eliminate them with repurposed drugs, ...
