Small cell lung cancer cells that metastasize to the brain cozy up to neurons and form working electrical connections, called synapses, according to an upcoming study led by Stanford Medicine ...

Signalling between neurons and tumour cells in the lung and brain promotes the growth of small-cell lung cancer. These interactions might be a therapeutic target. Read the paper: Neuronal ...

Researchers at MUSC Hollings Cancer Center have discovered a potentially powerful weapon in the fight against head and neck cancers. The new drug, still in preclinical studies, attacks cancer cells ...

New research has revealed that a single session of weight training can help fight breast cancer. Researchers at Edith Cowan University in Australia investigated how resistance training and ...

Cancer cells are known to reawaken embryonic genes to grow. A new study reveals the disease also hijacks the proteins, or "editors," that control how those genes are read. The findings, published in ...

Researchers headed by a team at NYU Langone Health have discovered that a feature of pancreatic cancer cells’ surroundings determines whether they grow fast or become resistant to chemotherapy. The ...

When it comes to their survival, cancer cells have a host of backup plans. This is especially true of the nutrients that cancers use to grow and spread. In addition to relying on sugars like glucose ...

Scientists have found a new way to stop cancer growth without damaging healthy cells. Researchers from the Francis Crick Institute and Vividion Therapeutics discovered a compound that blocks the ...

A group of natural compounds attracting attention for their anti-aging potential has a dark side. New research shows how a family of chemicals called polyamines speeds up the growth of cancer cells.

In a lab-grown cell study focused on potential new treatment targets for halting the spread of most pancreatic cancers, Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists report they have found that a gene called KLF5 ...

Researchers discovered an antioxidant, glutathione, that cancer cells appear to be "addicted to" as fuel, opening new pathways for investigation and a potential drug that can restrict the way tumors ...

Researchers at the Van Andel Institute suggest that the routes cancer cells use to process different nutrients deeply influence cell behavior. They discovered an alternate, or non-canonical, path by ...
