Researchers have shown for the first time that normal human fibroblast cells can be converted to specific cancer cells using only factors that are commonly detected in actual human patients. Previous studies have achieved this only by using powerful viral factors that are not common in human cancers.

Yale researchers have identified a cellular spy that tricks certain immune cells into helping potentially deadly skin cancer to reproduce. The discovery may offer new treatment pathways for people who are most at risk for skin cancer, such as transplant patients and fair-skinned individuals.

A new study published in Oncotarget suggests that terpyridine platinum-derived G4 ligands could be used as a cancer treatment approach, by inducing telomere dysfunction and chromosome instability.

Research published in Nature Genetics shows that in lung cancer patients with no history of smoking, the majority of tumors arise from the accumulation of mutations caused by natural processes in the body
