A team has begun to unravel the mystery of why a particular form of leukemia in infants has defied efforts to improve outcomes, despite improvements being made for older children.

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have found an unusual way of stabilizing p53 and making it more potent. They achieved this by adding a spider silk protein to p53.

A research team has used a one-step hydrothermal method to synthesize hollow cuprous oxide@nitrogen-doped carbon (HCONC) nanocapsules that could help to improve the efficacy of cancer chemodynamic therapy.

A research team has now successfully tested a more effective and less invasive cancer treatment than X-rays on animals for the first time.

Researchers have developed synthetic biosensors that will let a patient and doctor quickly learn if a cancer therapy is working through a non-invasive urinalysis.

Research has shown that in the fruit fly Drosophila when a wound heals, the process of autophagy is initiated and regulated by the protein complex TORC1.

The structure and action mechanism of a key signaling molecule, Janus kinase, have been determined after 20 years. The structure has revealed how a cancer-causing mutation to the protein affects its activity.

A genome-wide screen has identified a cell metabolism gene that could increase cancer-fighting T cell activity and potentially enable the development of CAR-T therapy for solid tumors.

Scientists have demonstrated that a species of ants were able to differentiate healthy human cells from cancerous human cells by smell.

Skin cancer cells that spread to the brain depend on the Alzheimer's protein, amyloid beta, to survive. The secreted amyloid beta also reduces the immune response against the cancer cells.
