Retinoic acid, a form of vitamin A, can regulate lineage plasticity in skin stem cells, suggests a new study that could have clinical implications for regenerative medicine, wound healing and even cancer.

A CAR T-cell therapy for glioblastoma has demonstrated promising clinical activity in a Phase 1 trial.

In most cancer patients, there is an overactivity of the protein MYC in cancer cells. Now, a Danish research team has discovered an unnoticed function of MYC that could potentially be inhibited to weaken cancer cells.

A research team has recently made a significant breakthrough in understanding how the DNA copying machine helps pass on epigenetic information to maintain gene traits at each cell division.

A study of five early-stage clinical trials has found that an experimental drug may have favorable results for a rare and incurable type of brain tumor, for which there are very few treatment options.

An artificial intelligence model can accurately identify tumors and can draw a map to explain each diagnosis, helping doctors follow its line of reasoning, check for accuracy, and explain the results to patients.

A group of abnormal proteins known as fusion proteins aberrantly engage with a collection of proteins that switches genes on and off. Genes that should be activated get repressed and genes that should be repressed get activated, causing cancer.

AI algorithms have been used to assess whether lung cancer will spread, and they outperformed clinicians in a small pilot study.

A method to stimulate gamma brain waves could pave the way for a non-invasive treatment for so-called “chemobrain”, according to a new study from MIT researchers.

Researchers have revealed the relationship between vaping, sleep quality and mental health in young adults.
