Even cells experience peer pressure. Scientists have long studied the ins and outs of cancer cells to learn more about the ...

Cancer cells are cells gone wrong — in other words, they no longer respond to many of the signals that control cellular growth and death. Cancer cells originate within tissues and, as they grow ...

Solid tumors often provide a challenging environment for the T cells of our immune system. By reprogramming the metabolism of ...

Research by UMass Chan Medical School scientists Sharon Cantor, PhD, and Jenna M. Whalen, PhD, poses a new explanation for how cancer-fighting drugs attack and destroy BRCA1 and BRCA2 tumor cells.

Scientists are using artificial intelligence to better capture how healthy cells surrounding tumors influence cancer cell behavior and how those interactions can inform treatments.
