A team has found that the gene "mEAK-7" may play a significant role in cancer metastasis, at least in lung cancers.

An epigenetic change that deactivates some genes linked to cancer late in human development has been conserved for more than 400 million years, new research suggests.

A research team has identified an enzyme involved in remodeling the plasma membrane of multiple types of cancer cell, that is critical to both survival of tumors and uncontrolled growth.

Researchers have published research connecting an enzyme associated with detoxification to obesity and fatty liver disease, especially in males.

Africa has new purple-clad warriors more than 200 feet beneath the ocean’s surface. Deep-diving scientists spotted dazzling fairy wrasses—previously unknown to science—in the dimly lit mesophotic coral reefs of eastern Zanzibar, off the coast of Tanzania.

A new study suggests the protein ID1 is critical to tumor initiation and growth and also impacts glioblastoma's response to chemotherapy. Researchers are hopeful that new strategies could emerge from these findings that could help slow the growth and re-occurrence of this brain cancer.

Despite the immense importance of the liver for human health, the diversity of individual liver cell types and the associated molecular and cellular processes in both healthy and diseased tissue have not yet been fully investigated, until now.

Adults with a first-degree relative with Alzheimer's disease perform more poorly on online paired-learning tasks than adults without such a family history, and this impairment appears to be exacerbated by having diabetes or a genetic variation in the apolipoprotein E (APOE) gene linked to the disease.

The most extensive and systematic insect monitoring program ever undertaken in North America shows that butterfly abundance in Ohio declined yearly by 2%, resulting in an overall 33% drop for the 21 years of the program.

We may take it for granted that the sex of an animal is established at birth and doesn't change. However, about 500 species of fish change sex in adulthood, often in response to environmental cues. How these fish change sex has, until now, been a mystery.
