Study identifies potential targets for treatment of triple negative breast cancer, the most aggressive form of breast cancer.

New technique for modeling human leukemia in mice may aid drug discovery and clinical trials.

Rare benign tumors known as insulinomas contain a complicated wiring diagram for regeneration of insulin-producing human beta cells, which may hold the key to diabetes drug development.

Scientists have discovered that lactate provides a fuel for growing tumors, challenging a nearly century-old observation known as the Warburg effect.
