Cancer cell biology unravels the molecular and cellular underpinnings of tumour formation, progression and metastasis. At its core, cancer arises as a result of dysregulated cell cycle control, ...

Genetic ancestry plays a key role in determining the behavior of head and neck tumors and may help explain why African-American patients survive for half as long as their counterparts of European ...

The field of regulated cell death has undergone a transformative shift with the discovery of novel modalities beyond apoptosis, such as ferroptosis, which ...

When the team knocked out the P2Y2 receptor in drug-resistant cancer cells, it led to an almost complete loss of the mutant EGFR protein.

The field of cancer epigenetics examines how heritable changes in gene regulation - independent of DNA sequence - impact ...

A new study reveals a simple and fast, label-free way to distinguish aggressive cancer cells by how they physically behave.

The process by which glycoRNAs are created and deployed to the cell surface has been identified by Boston Children’s Hospital researchers.

A team of Canadian scientists has uncovered a new way to slow the growth of glioblastoma, the most aggressive and currently ...

The Undergraduate Cancer Biology Society (UCBS) was started in 2022 with inaugural President Sarah Elimam. Now our third year as a UAB Registered Student Organization, UCBS is excited to continue its ...

Circulating tumor cells were first described in 1869 by Thomas Ashworth, an Australian pathologist who observed them in a peripheral blood sample taken from a patient with metastatic cancer. 1 They ...

Samantha Bianzon explained what biology-guided radiation therapy for cancer is, as well as highlighted how it may differ from the more traditional types of radiation. Biology-guided radiation therapy ...
