New research shows that dysfunction in the mitochondria linked to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) occurs before the cells show other signs of disease, which was not previously known.
Unprecedented insights into the inner workings of an early-stage lung tumor: An international research team describes a new method for 3D mapping cellular interactions in the tumor microenvironment.
A newly discovered type of cells counteract tumor development and may therefore be a target for research into new treatments for pancreatic cancer, which is one of the deadliest forms of cancer.
Researchers developed biomimetic materials inspired by lymph nodes, which could improve cancer immunotherapy. The study highlights the potential of bioengineered scaffolds for cell-based therapies.
New research uncovers the hidden diversity of adrenal gland tumors, shedding light on how they cause unusual medical symptoms and paving the way for new drug treatments.
When multiple myeloma cancer cells break out and multiply outside the bone marrow, a wide variety of tumor cells arise, accompanied by a significantly altered immune response, new research shows.
Persister cells arise as a result of cancer treatment and are often responsible for tumour relapse. Researchers identified a distinctive feature of persister cells, paving the way for new treatments.
Dying cells prick their neighbors with a lethal message. This may worsen sepsis, Vijay Rathinam and colleagues report. Their findings could lead to a new understanding of this dangerous illness.
Senescent cells, which may appear after chemotherapy or radiotherapy, can jeopardize patients' recovery. A study describes a new mechanism to eliminate these cells in cancer patients.
Acoustofluidics company Aenitis Technologies has entered a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with pharmaceutical company Bracco Imaging to develop next-generation acoustic microspheres.
A molecule called MR1 (MHC Class I-related Molecule 1) enables a newly-discovered type of T-cells to sense differences in the metabolism that occur when cells become cancerous.
A new type of pancreas organoid contains all key pancreatic cell types - acinar, ductal, and endocrine cells - allowing valuable new insights.
New insights into the previously unknown diversity of cancer-associated fibroblasts in basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and melanoma could pave the way for new therapies.
A certain type of cells, called aneuploid epithelial cells, are usually associated with breast cancer. However, new research reveals that they can also be found in healthy women.
To take cell therapy in regenerative medicine to a new level, experts consider 3D bioprinting a key technology. However, there are still quality issues that need to be overcome to achieve this.
New insights gained from 3D cell cultures of breast and prostate cancer grown on the International Space Station (ISS) National Laboratory could lead to a way to treat not just these but all cancers.
Tumor cells are notorious for their rapid and uncontrolled division, and many cancer therapies aim to disrupt this. New findings suggest potential applications of apoptosis in blood cancer treatment.
A study led by Assistant Professor Masamitsu Sone and Professor Yoshifumi Yamaguchi from Hokkaido University, Japan, has uncovered a crucial gene that enables hibernating Syrian hamsters (Mesocricetus auratus) to prevent cold-induced cell death. The research was published in the journal Cell Death and Disease.
The study findings of a team from Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg (JMU) in Bavaria, Germany help to broaden the conceptual view on the DNA damage response and to link it more closely with RNA metabolism.
