The risk of cancer goes up with age, in part because aging impedes the body's ability to detect and destroy cells with damaged DNA. Aging also comes with cumulative damage to cells; low-grade, chronic ...

To effectively battle cancer, scientists must study the battlefield. Now, in a recent study published in Nature ...

Yale researchers are providing new insights into how physical forces, such as cells being compressed in physically ...

The taurine triggers cancer growth in leukemia cells by promoting a process called glycolysis, which breaks down glucose to produce energy. In particular, taurine fuels certain types of cancer ...

Researchers and clinicians have long prioritized the biology of tumor cells when studying how cancer grows and spreads. Now, the focus has shifted to brain cancers’ uniquely electrical environment and ...

CDK9 inhibitors have shown clinical potential to selectively stop the abnormal growth of cancer cells and, in some cases, induce cancer cell death, all while sparing normal cells and leading to ...

Higher vitamin D may lower the risk. Calcitriol, the active form of vitamin D, slows cancer cell growth. It also promotes healthy gut bacteria. Deficiency is a risk factor, potentially speeding ...

This runaway cell growth and accumulation of abnormal cells is called cancer. There are more than 200 types of cancer, with about 20 million new cases of cancer diagnosed globally each year.
