Brazilian researchers have found that stellate pancreatic cells produce periostin, which reshapes surrounding tissue and allows tumors to spread more easily, helping explain why the disease is so ...

A hidden communication network between brain cells and glioblastoma tumors may be key to slowing this aggressive cancer.

Non-muscle invasive bladder cancer is cancer that’s only in the inner lining of your bladder. It hasn’t grown into the muscle wall. Your doctor may also call it superficial bladder cancer, urothelial ...

A new Brazilian study has revealed the key role of the protein periostin and stellate pancreatic cells in allowing pancreatic ...

Scientists at McMaster University and The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) have identified a previously hidden population of brain cells that actively fuel glioblastoma growth — and, crucially, ...

Stopping cancer cells from entering a soft biomechanical state could help the immune system clear dormant cancer metastasis.

Researchers at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center and its Bloomberg~Kimmel Institute for Cancer Immunotherapy found that ...

Why do some tumours spread while others remain localised? The mechanisms governing the metastatic potential of tumour cells remain largely unknown — yet understanding this is crucial for optimising ...

A fluorescent probe for visualizing the signaling dynamics in metastatic cancer cells has been developed. A research team at the University of Turku (Finland), led by Johanna Ivaska and James Conway, ...

Cancer cells that have broken away from a primary tumor can lurk in the body for years in a dormant state, evading immune ...
