Many tumors have cancer stem cells that help them grow and evade treatments. Differentiation therapy forces these cells to mature, stopping growth with less toxicity than traditional treatments.

Successes in the lab mostly don’t translate to people. Research models that better mimic the human body could close the gap.

Counterintuitively, cells move faster in thicker fluids. New research on breast cancer cells explains why, and reveals the role that fluid viscosity plays in metastasis.

Prochlorococcus, the world’s most abundant photosynthetic organism, reveals a gene-transfer mechanism that may be key to its abundance and diversity.

Scientists at Harvard-affiliated Brigham and Women’s Hospital have developed a cancer vaccine to simultaneously kill and prevent brain cancer in advanced mouse models.

Dry eye disease alters how the cornea heals itself after injury. Now, researchers have identified new potential therapy targets.

Using these engineered proteins, researchers can record histories that reveal when certain genes are activated or how cells respond to a drug.

Groundbreaking research can help alleviate the challenges affiliated with studying carbohydrates.
