For almost 60 years, scientists have tried to understand why DNA doesn't replicate wildly and uncontrollably every time a ...

Wistar scientists have combined a promising cancer therapy with a molecule that targets tumors to treat cancer more ...

A hidden clue may explain why some mutated cells become cancerous and others don’t: how fast they divide. A new study from researchers at Sinai Health in Toronto reveals that the total time it takes ...

Researchers at Moffitt Cancer Center have developed a new tool to predict how cancer cells evolve. By focusing on chromosome ...

About 100 cells divide every second in our body. A key protein in cell division is a protein kinase termed Plk1, because it activates other proteins involved in this process. Plk1 is also ...

For years, scientists have viewed cancer as a localized glitch in which cells refuse to stop dividing. Scientists have long ...

Left: Normal cell division with the chromosomes (blue) lined up and ready to be pulled into two separate daughter cells by the two centrosomes (green). Right: In faulty cell division, too many ...

Scientists have recently been learning more about the importance of small bits of circular genetic material known as extrachromosomal DNA (ecDNA). These little circles of DNA can hitch a ride with ...

Overcoming tumor resistance to chemotherapy drugs has long been a challenge for oncology clinicians and researchers. Now, a new study suggests that blocking a key protein, p300, may force damaged ...

The ability of mutations to cause cancer depends on how fast they force cells to divide, Sinai Health researchers have found. The study, led by Dr. Rod Bremner, a Senior Investigator at the ...

New Study Suggests Graying Hair May Offer Protection Against Cancer ...
