The Smolka Lab, led by Prof. Marcus Smolka, molecular biology and genetics, recently published a study shedding light on a novel pathway that explains how cancer cells can become resistant to ...

While anticancer treatments, including many forms of chemotherapy and radiation, can effectively kill cancer cells, long-term use can cause mutations in healthy cells. Mutations arising in cells that ...

Mayo Clinic researchers and collaborators have identified a previously unrecognized way lung tumors weaken the immune system, ...

When cancer cells mutate, they produce small peptides called neoantigens. Because neoantigens remain relatively unique to tumors, they can provide a marker to help the immune system recognize and kill ...

Research has uncovered a surprising biological twist: molecules that help support healthy aging can also contribute to cancer growth.

Doctors have long believed the cancer drug 5-fluorouracil works by damaging the building blocks of DNA, but researchers have now found that in certain cancers, it kills cells by interfering with RNA ...

Imagine that two women have breast cancer with the same subtype: hormone receptor positive (HR+) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 negative (HER2-). They’re the same age, weight, and height ...

According to recent reports from the Korean government, the incidence of alcoholic liver disease—previously the leading indication for liver transplantation—has been decreasing. This trend initially ...

In a recent study published in Cell, a group of researchers elucidated the shared immune tolerance mechanisms in cancer and pregnancy, focusing on the role of progestogen-induced B7 Homolog 4 (B7-H4) ...
