Cancer cells possess a remarkable quality called plasticity. This means they can change their form. This ability helps them survive and spread. Cancer cells act like young cells. They can adapt to ...

How spreading tumour cells gain the ability to grow in organs away from where they originated is not fully understood. The discovery that normal liver cells help invading tumour cells to thrive in ...

One hallmark of many biological processes is cellular phenotypic heterogeneity. Now, a new deep learning method—AINU (artificial intelligence [AI] of the nucleus)—can identify specific nuclear ...

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 act like young cells. They can adapt to different body parts. They can also resist drug treatments. But what if this very quality could be used against them? Scientists are exploring this ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. In a trailblazing advancement in cancer therapy, researchers at Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) have ...

Scientists have discovered that some cancer cells pretend to be "super fit" to fool normal healthy cells into giving them their nutrients, allowing them to expand and spread around the body. A team ...

Working with a line of colon cancer cells, Korean researchers figured out a way to throw a few genetic switches to cause the cells to revert back to a healthy state. The technique could have major ...
