"Stress granules" belong in the cellular toolbox of survival strategies. Proteins and RNA huddle together into membrane-less blobs when the cell is threatened, a mechanism which is also critical for proper maternal mRNA storage, synaptic plasticity, tumor progression and neurodegeneration. These previously invisible basic genetic processes have been captured for the first time, using fluorescence microscopy.

The bacteria, fungi and viruses that live inside us are collectively called our microbiome, and they play an important role in our health. But scientists also think that the bacteria in our guts might help some cancers develop and change how these cancers respond to treatment.

This video provides an overview of the bowel and how bowel cancer can develop.

A Mass. General Hospital study reveals how solid stress from nodular brain tumors compresses adjacent healthy tissue, restricts blood supply and damages neurons. The psychiatric drug lithium may be able to reduce these effects. (Giorgio Seano, PhD, Steele Laboratories of Tumor Biology, Department of Radiation Oncology, Massachusetts General Hospital)

Dr Carlo Maley, an evolutionary and cancer biologist, discusses how nature has already beaten cancer, and the possibility of using those methods in humans.

Just like our healthy cells, malignant cancer cells need energy to survive. Sophia Lunt, Ph.D explains how she intends to cut off cancer cells' survival potential, and pioneer a new way of halting their growth.
