New research reveals that certain brain tumors may originate silently within normal brain cells long before a tumor forms.

A study led by researchers at Moffitt Cancer Center found that normal cells surrounding a tumor, known as cancer-associated ...

New Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center research reveals how dormant metastatic cancer cells protect themselves from the ...

Stopping cancer cells from entering a soft biomechanical state could help the immune system clear dormant cancer metastasis.

A hidden clue may explain why some mutated cells become cancerous and others don’t: how fast they divide. A new study from researchers at Sinai Health in Toronto reveals that the total time it takes ...

Cancer cells that detach from a primary tumor can remain hidden in the body for years in a dormant state, avoiding immune ...

A new single-cell profiling technique has mapped pre-malignant gene mutations and their effects in solid tissues for the ...

Some cancer cells don't die; they go quiet, like seeds lying dormant in the soil. These "sleeper cells," scattered throughout the body, can stay inactive for years. But when the body faces a ...

Scientists have recently been learning more about the importance of small bits of circular genetic material known as extrachromosomal DNA (ecDNA). These little circles of DNA can hitch a ride with ...

Borrowing a cancer cell’s disguise, scientists shielded insulin-producing cells from attack by the immune system, a breakthrough that could pave the way for targeted type 1 diabetes treatments without ...

Cancer cells that have broken away from a primary tumor can lurk in the body for years in a dormant state, evading immune ...
