Within tumors in the human body, there are immune cells (macrophages) capable of fighting cancer, but they have been unable to perform their roles properly due to suppression by the tumor.

Yale researchers have uncovered a way to make a type of white blood cells known as natural killer cells — which kill infected, damaged, or malignant cells in the body — more effective against cancer.

Researchers have created tiny metal-based particles that push cancer cells over the edge while leaving healthy cells mostly unharmed. The particles work by increasing internal stress in cancer cells ...

Seals give birth only when conditions are right. After mating, a female seal can delay implantation of the embryo in the ...

Researchers have discovered how cells activate a last-resort DNA repair system when severe damage strikes. When genetic ...

Cancer can sometimes thwart drugs designed to treat it — but now, scientists have developed a way to turn tumor cells against their neighbors, forcing the cancer to cooperate with treatment. A cancer ...

Working with a line of colon cancer cells, Korean researchers figured out a way to throw a few genetic switches to cause the cells to revert back to a healthy state. The technique could have major ...
