To Bleb or Not to Bleb: Researchers Unravel How Cancer Cells Evade Anoikis

In a recent paper, published in Nature, researchers have discovered that blebbing might be a survival strategy in melanoma cells, […]

Embryo gene activation events linked to cancer

In a recent paper, published in the journal Cell Reports, embryologists have discovered how genes in early embryos are switched […]

Cancer immunotherapy and precision oncology

In a healthy individual, the immune system responds to “foreign” cells (such as cancer) by attacking and eliminating them. Unfortunately, […]

An overview of cancer biology

Cancer is a disease of the genome. Environmental factors can certainly influence the growth and spread of cancer, but the […]

A guide to cancer genomics

According to the British Journal of Cancer, one in two of us will develop cancer in our lifetime. Despite this […]

Predictive models could identify oncogenic genetic events

Researchers have shown that some cancer-causing genetic events are underpinned by regulatory gene activity. The study, published in Nature, highlights […]
