Stem cells found in the bone marrow are crucial for our health because they are needed to become new blood cells that sustain and protect our bodies. But when the transformation goes wrong, harmful mutations can cause the cells to start replicating without control -- a type of cancer known as leukemia.

Diagnosed with cervical cancer at the age of 26, Louisa reflects on learning that her illness may have been avoided if she had been given the HPV vaccination.

Myeloma occurs as a result of changes in the genetic material within plasma cells. This animation explains what happens at the genetic level which causes myeloma to develop.

Across a wide variety of cancer types, a protein called KRAS can get hyperactivated and transmit an overload of unwanted growth signals to the cells, causing them to divide and form a tumor.

A new way to think about treating cancer and other diseases: anti-angiogenesis, preventing the growth of blood vessels that feed a tumor.

Cancer usually begins with one tumor in a specific area of the body. But if the tumor is not removed, cancer has the ability to spread to nearby organs as well as places far away from the origin, like the brain. How does cancer move to these new areas and why are some organs more likely to get infected than others?

This animation created by Nature Reviews Cancer and Nature Reviews Immunology illustrates how tumor cells are sensed and destroyed by cells of the immune system and how tumors can evolve to evade immune-mediated elimination.

Dr Sekar Kathiresan highlights the importance of polygenic risk scoring, a method which summarizes data into a single variable that measures genetic liability to a disorder or a trait.

Researchers at MIT have developed half-inch modular blocks that can be constructed to produced different diagnostic devices. They hope that their low-cost, easy-to-assemble half-inch creations will soon land in the hands of many small laboratories around the world, to improve infection detection and monitoring.
