Scientists have uncovered an unexpected way cells can generate cancer-driving proteins—by cutting RNA into shorter, ...

A long-standing mystery in cancer treatment is how tumor cells so often become resistant to drugs, even ones they have never encountered before.

A newly proposed model suggests cancer cells may resist treatment not just through genetic mutations, but by dynamically ...

Researchers have discovered how cells activate a last-resort DNA repair system when severe damage strikes. When genetic tangles overwhelm normal repair pathways, cells flip on a fast but error-prone ...

MIAMI, FLORIDA (Feb. 5, 2026) – Overcoming tumor resistance to chemotherapy drugs has long been a challenge for oncology clinicians and researchers. Now, a new study suggests that blocking a key ...

Scientists have discovered why ovarian cancer spreads so rapidly through the abdomen. Cancer cells enlist normally protective abdominal cells, forming mixed groups that work together to invade new ...

Cancer cells can disarm the immune system not just by hiding from it, but by actively reprogramming nearby immune cells into a suppressed state. This previously unrecognized molecular interaction, ...

HER2-mutated non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a rare form of lung cancer where the cancer cells have a mutation that makes them grow and divide in an uncontrolled way. You can best understand ...

Such findings suggest ways that metastasizing cells, because they’re so different from the original tumor, might be vulnerable to new kinds of treatment. Someday doctors might not have to wait for ...

Researchers at NYU Langone Health propose a model that could explain how cancer cells adapt to environmental stress, an approach that may lead to new therapies. Published online April 15 as the cover ...
