Scientists at Rutgers University–Newark have developed a first-of-its-kind RNA-based nanotechnology that assembles itself inside living human cells and can be programmed to stop propagation of harmful ...

Cancer is transported from one organ to another by invisible bubbles. Understanding these microscopic messengers could change ...

A new international study led by the Gray Faculty of Medical & Health Sciences at Tel Aviv University finds: melanoma cancer cells paralyze immune cells by secreting extracellular vesicles (EVs), ...

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 ...

Researchers developed a sensitive Raman imaging system that can detect very faint signals from SERS nanoparticles that bind to tumor markers. Credit: Zhen Qiu, Michigan State University A new ...

Researchers at the Keck School of Medicine of University of Southern California (USC) have developed a new type of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell that elicits a more controlled immune response ...

Researchers from UC San Digo have discovered an unusual new way by which cancer cells, illustrated here, can resist treatment and regrow. Photo credit: iStock/wildpixel The emergence of cancer drug ...

Researchers have designed a smart drug that hunts down and breaks a little-known RNA that cancer cells depend on. The drug recognizes a unique fold in the RNA and triggers the cell to destroy it.
