New research shows that cancer cells don’t just grow; they adapt when stressed. When squeezed inside tissues, they transform ...

Every time a eukaryotic cell divides, it faces a monumental challenge: It must carefully duplicate and divide its genetic ...

Before a chain of amino acids can become an active and useful protein, it must be processed and folded into the appropriate ...

Pressure from surrounding tissues activates invasive programs in cancer cells. This mechanical stress rewires epigenetic regulation. Cancer cells are notoriously adaptable, capable of shifting their ...

Tumors are stressful places for cancer-fighting immune cells. Low oxygen, high acid levels, and other stressors put strain on mitochondria, the cell's energy factories, leading to T cell exhaustion ...

Plasticity in cancer cells describes their inherent ability to undergo alterations and turn certain features on and off at different times.  This flex | Cancer ...

Telomere damage drives T cell exhaustion. Antioxidants restored their cancer-fighting strength in mice. Tumor environments place heavy stress on immune cells that fight cancer. Limited oxygen, ...

To make the behavior of DNA understandable and predictable, the researchers combine lab experiments with computer simulations ...

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute have shown that the 'pacemaker' controlling yeast cell division lies inside the nucleus rather than outside it, as previously thought. Having the pacemaker ...
