Scientists at Nagoya University in Japan studied what happens when macrophages—a type of immune cell—encounter dying cancer cells in tumors and discovered a mechanism that accelerates tumor growth.

A protein best known for driving cancer growth also helps damaged tumor cells survive by repairing their DNA, according to a ...

Cancer cells travel through the blood like restless seeds, searching for places to take root. Yet one organ they almost never ...

Signalling between neurons and tumour cells in the lung and brain promotes the growth of small-cell lung cancer. These interactions might be a therapeutic target. Read the paper: Neuronal ...

Researchers have revealed that a group of compounds growing in popularity for their longevity benefits could speed up the growth of cancer cells. It’s important information both in the context of ...

Small cell lung cancer cells that metastasize to the brain cozy up to neurons and form working electrical connections, called synapses, according to an upcoming study led by Stanford Medicine ...

A nutrient found in eggs, milk, and leafy greens may be quietly protecting cancer cells from one of the body’s most powerful ...

Scientists at Houston Methodist have developed an artificial intelligence platform that can decode how cells communicate ...

Researchers have found that a cancer outside the brain makes electrical connections with the nervous system to fuel cancer growth and aid its spread. Researchers have discovered that stomach cancers ...

If you've ever pulled a late nighter at the university library or at your office, you may have reached for an energy drink or two for a little boost. But aside from their super high caffeine content, ...

When cancer cells die, macrophages consume them and produce inflammatory cytokines. This activates JAK and STAT proteins in living cancer cells, enabling them to produce their own Upd3 and creating a ...
