Protein Key to Tumor Cell Metabolism and Immune Evasion Identified

Tumor cells can alter their metabolism, and in doing so, dampen the body's anti-cancer immune response. A research team has identified a potential target for therapies in the protein key to this metabolic shift.

Level of DNA Damage Similar for Vapers and Smokers

A group of researchers from the Keck School of Medicine of USC analyzed epithelial cells taken from the mouths of vapers, smokers, and people who had never vaped or smoked. They found that vapers and smokers had similar levels of DNA damage, more than twice the amount found in non-users.

Previously Unknown Cell Mechanism Could Help Counter Cancer and Aging

In a new study, researchers discovered an unknown mechanism of how cells "remember" their identity when they divide – the cells' so-called epigenetic memory.

Possible Strategy To Induce Cancer Cell Death Revealed

Activation of p53 – the most commonly mutated tumor suppressor gene – has been shown to temporarily stop tumor growth, and new research has identified that inhibiting p53 repressors offers a potential mechanism of inducing cancer cell death.
