Sometimes, cancer cells that have spread become ‘dormant’ but can start proliferating again later. A cue that can reactivate ...

Hidden in the lungs of some breast cancer survivors are tumour cells that can remain dormant for decades — until they one day ...

Typically, viral infections are passed via respiratory droplets, which are microscopic drops of mostly water that are produced when someone coughs, sneezes or talks. The viruses in these droplets ...

Viral respiratory infections usually present with clear or white mucus in the early stages. This relatively thin discharge represents your body’s initial attempt to flush the virus from mucous ...

Inflammation from viral infections promotes cancer metastasis, offering answers to why some cancers reawaken in humans.

Common respiratory infections like the flu and COVID-19 might jolt dormant cancer cells back to life in survivors, causing ...

Findings reinforce the need for approaches to minimize the risk of awakening lung DCCs and metastatic disease in cancer survivors who develop respiratory virus infections.

Researchers at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus, Montefiore Einstein Comprehensive Cancer Center (MECCC), ...

Certain respiratory infections could trigger a reawakening of dormant cancer cells in the body, according to a new study.

However, pooling acute respiratory infections (ARIs) across all cycles of the study in a posteriori secondary analysis, UV ...

A baby's makeup of gut bacteria—their microbiome—which starts to form as soon as they are born, could help protect against viral infections later in childhood, a new study suggests.

Simple technology that harnesses ultraviolet light to zap airborne viruses has been shown to significantly lower the number ...
