A new study shows that cancer damages its own DNA by pushing key genes to work too hard. Researchers found that the most powerful genetic "on switches" in cancer cells, called super-enhancers, drive ...

New research from Dana-Farber Cancer Institute shows that a new class of drug results in cell death in cancers, such as small cell lung cancer, with a disabled quality control cell cycle checkpoint ...

Cilia are evolutionarily conserved, microtubule-based organelles that project from the surface of most eukaryotic cells and play a central role in sensing ...

Scientists have uncovered a new way embryonic cells divide when conventional mechanisms fail. Cell division underpins all ...

A new study led by researchers at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center, its Bloomberg~Kimmel Institute for Cancer ...

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 119, No. 18 (May 3, 2022), pp. 1-12 (12 pages) B and T lymphocytes of the adaptive immune system undergo ...

Cells degrade components that are no longer needed through autophagy. New results show that a weak molecular interaction is essential for this process. By modifying this interaction, it is possible to ...
