_Unified Theory of Consciousness : Proofs and Applications_. forthcomingThe two preceding papers in this sequence developed a constraint-failure frame for cancer biology, arguing that tumors are not colonies of broken cells but the visible end-state of failure in the closure of constraints by which tissue maintains itself as a coherent participant in the larger organism, and that the early-onset …

Activation of a specific part of the Dicer enzyme can change its shape in a way that affects its critical role in proper cell division, with implications for both cancer biology and fertility, according to researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center.

Cancer biology papers need pre-submission review that checks mechanism, model validity, cell-line authentication, validation, and claim discipline.

Nature Communications, Published online: 15 April 2026; doi:10.1038/s41467-026-71972-1 Author Correction: A proteogenomic atlas of 1032 brain metastases identifies molecular subtypes, immune landscapes, and therapeutic vulnerabilities

Colorectal cancer often returns not because the main tumor survives, but because a small population of stem-like cancer cells can resist treatment, seed new growth, and drive aggressive spread. This study identifies BEX2 as an important suppressor of those dangerous traits. When BEX2 levels were high, colorectal cancer cells showed weaker stemness, reduced tumor-forming ability, lower drug resist…

A team of Weill Cornell Medicine investigators is working to cross-train the next generation of cancer researchers in cancer biology and the use of artificial intelligence tools for research.

In this work, we uncover the molecular mechanisms and functional consequences of tumor microenvironment–induced silencing of the pro-apoptotic protein BIM, using mantle cell lymphoma as a cellular model.

Post-Doctoral Research Fellow- Lab of Dr. Christine Eischen- Cancer Biology The Eischen Laboratory utilizes multiple advanced approaches to study molecular, biochemical, immunological, and/or genetic mechanisms of cancer cell survival and growth with the goal of identifying potential targetable vulnerabilities in both hematologic and solid tumors. Our multi-disciplinary research investigates seve…

MIT Professor Emeritus Richard O. Hynes PhD ’71, a cancer biologist whose discoveries reshaped modern understandings of how cells interact with each other and their environment, passed away on Jan. 6. He was 81. Hynes is best known for his discovery of integrins, a family of cell-surface receptors essential to cell–cell and cell–matrix adhesion. He […] The post Richard Hynes, a pioneer in the bio…

Sabyasachi Parija, a fourth-year undergraduate student at the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research Berhampur, is exploring the fascinating world of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), a critical process in cancer biology. In this opinion article, Sabyasachi reflects on the molecular intricacies of EMT and its role in cancer progression, sharing his thoughts on why understand…

I did my Ph.D. in the cellular biology of brain tumors, identifying new ways to treat this aggressive and, to date, incurable disease. At that time, I was, and still I am, fascinated by the origins, development, and plasticity of cancers. I was so enthusiastic about understanding cancer biology to develop therapeutic tools that I […]

I am a Research Instructor at the University of Nebraska Medical Center’s Eppley Institute for Cancer Research, hosted by the labs of Dr. Michael (Tony) Hollingsworth (cancer biology, immunology) and […]
