This study investigates the concentration-dependent cytotoxicity of aluminum-doped zinc oxide nanoparticles on breast cancer (MDA-MB-231) and normal mammary epithelial cells (MCF-10 A). Pure and ...

A gastrointestinal oncologist told Newsweek that the early-stage findings are a “major step forward” in targeting colon ...

Loss of GATA6—a transcription factor that controls which genes are turned on or off—can reprogram colorectal cancer cells ...

UCT-led researchers decoded how cancer rewires the MUC1 protein’s sugar coating to evade immune detection, paving the way for ...

A counterintuitive discovery published today is reshaping how scientists think about one of cancer's most common genomic events: when a cell accidentally duplicates its entire DNA supply and fails to ...

Scientists have discovered that a rare “mirror-image” version of the amino acid cysteine can dramatically slow the growth of certain cancers while leaving healthy cells largely untouched. Unlike most ...

Scientists found a protein that may help tumors repair DNA damage, revealing a new challenge for cancer treatment.

A hallmark of cancerous cells is an abnormal number of chromosomes or chromosome arms, known as aneuploidy. While aneuploidy is detrimental to regular cells, it occurs in as many as 90% of tumors. How ...

A therapy that has revolutionised how we treat blood and skin cancers could become even more effective. Making cancer cells stiffer bolstered the effects of immunotherapy, when the immune system is ...
