Researchers have discovered a rapid and sustainable way to produce a promising anti-cancer compound in the lab. Found naturally only in a single rainforest tree species, the compound can now have expanded availability for research and clinical uses.

Researchers have identified a molecule that becomes hyperactive and promotes tumor survival in retinoblastoma, a poorly understood cancer.

Scientists have discovered new epigenetic biomarkers to predict more aggressive forms of prostate cancer.

Gene activity immediately after fertilization is used to infer how an embryo forms. Scientists now ask if the switch that begins embryo formation may also initiate cancer.

Finding could lead to new treatments for diseases marked by uncontrolled cellular stress including cancer, metabolic syndrome and neurodegenerative disorders.

Researchers have developed a method that may help predict whether people with lung cancer will respond to chemotherapy, based on which genes are switched on in their tumor.

A long-term study has examined the potential link between chronic inflammation and cognition in breast cancer survivors, pointing towards a potential biomarker for cognitive problems.

Researchers report successful results from an experimental cancer-detection system that appears to have overcome the challenges associated with liquid biopsies in a novel, cost-effective way.

A large collaborative study by the Weizmann Institute of Science and the University of California San Diego (UCSD) has discovered multiple species of fungi living within human tumors.

A new study has proposed a new approach that may increase the power of drug efficacy testing and pave the way for more personalized cancer therapy.
