Fasting helps intestinal stem cells regenerate and heal injuries but also leads to a higher risk of cancer in mice, MIT researchers report.

Researchers have discovered a way to extend the shelf life of blood stem cells outside the body for use in gene therapy, providing patients with better options

"With these newly developed computational models, we can now determine how cancer cells invade into breast tissue in three dimensions..."

A new artificial intelligence tool can predict with more than 80% accuracy which breast cancer patients will develop chronic pain.

Researchers have identified which immune cells drive cardiac inflammation in cancer patients taking doxorubicin, a common chemotherapy drug.

When patients spend large sums on their cancer care, it can be hard for them to afford basics such as food and housing.

"We're giving clinicians a more powerful tool that can find cancer cells earlier and more precisely than ever before."

The model could help clinicians assess breast cancer stage and ultimately help in reducing overtreatment.

"...finding ways to circumvent drug and chemotherapy resistance is vital to improving patient outcomes."

Natural killer cells hold promise for treating cancer. Now, researchers have found a way to overcome their main limitation.
