Tumor cells evade death through in extremis DNA repair: A study on breast cancer conducted at IRB Barcelona identifies the key role of p38 in safeguarding tumor cells against the excessive accumulation of DNA damage, which would otherwise cause cell death

Greater knowledge of the mechanisms that contribute to the survival of tumour cells is key to vanquishing them. The study

Particle shows promise for treating the deadliest type of breast cancer: Like a smart bomb, the potential treatment targets a cancer-enabling agent to prevent lung metastasis

USC researchers have pinpointed a remedy to thwart a protein that helps the metastatic spread of breast cancer, a leading

An index measures similarity between cancer cells and pluripotent stem cells: The new methodology measures tumor aggressiveness and the risk of relapse, helping doctors plan treatment

The theory that cancer progression involves the acquisition by tumor cells of features similar to those of stem cells has
