New research from Roswell Park's Blake Wilde, PhD, reports an important new discovery about liposarcoma cells.

Digestion is hard on the cells that line the human gut, and they are constantly being shed and replaced. This renewal is driven by a population of tireless stem cells.

Sarcoma is rare and complex. Immunotherapy isn’t yet an option for everyone — but it’s changing what’s possible for some patients, and research is rapidly expanding those possibilities. A sarcoma diagnosis can […] The post What Patients Should Know About Sarcoma and Immunotherapy appeared first on Cancer Research Institute .

Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have discovered a promising strategy to overcome PARP inhibitor resistance in ovarian cancer, one of the most common barriers to the long-term effectiveness of this widely used treatment.

Scientific Reports, Published online: 08 July 2026; doi:10.1038/s41598-026-60839-6 Non-canonical ATR signaling mediates direct and bystander cold atmospheric plasma-induced stress responses in A549 lung adenocarcinoma cells

Researchers led by Universitätsmedizin Frankfurt and Goethe University Frankfurt have identified how particularly aggressive forms of lymphoma can be recognized.

Researchers from ETH Zurich have developed a molecular switch that is controlled by light. It wakes lung cancer cells up from a protective dormant state so that they are more accessible for treatment. Tumour cells can lapse into a sleep-like state and thereby evade the destructive effect of cancer d...

A new preclinical study led by researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center and Weill Cornell Medicine has uncovered genetic and cell-state adaptive mechanisms that drive resistance to KRAS inhibitors in patients with KRAS-mutant colorectal cancer.

Cancer research has been transformed by genomics, but cancer is ultimately executed at the protein level. In this study, we compared RPPA and LC-MS on matched breast and kidney tumour samples to ask whether two proteomic platforms see the same biology, and how reliably they agree.

The sun went down hours ago.The only lights in the lab glow from the benchtop and the computer screen.A timer dings.A scientist gets up, puts on a pair of gloves, and takes […] The post From Bench to Breakthrough appeared first on Cancer Research Institute .

The review offers important insights for patients and families by explaining why pancreatic cancer has proven so resistant to treatment, and where new hope may emerge.

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and collaborating institutions developed a method that reveals the cellular makeup of tissues that support metastatic cancer growth, which is the primary cause of death for most patients with solid tumors.

3D disease models are transforming cancer research by offering more realistic depiction and improved prediction of therapy outcomes. Yet scaling and preserving these models remains a challenge. SpheroMatrix provides a simple, scalable, cryopreservable solution for reliable high-throughput testing.

Why don’t giant animals get more cancer? Despite having vastly more cells, whales and elephants rarely develop cancer. This phenomenon, known as Peto’s paradox, reveals how evolution has equipped large, long-lived animals with powerful DNA repair, tumour suppression, and immune mechanisms, offering surprising insights for human cancer research. Why don’t giant animals get more cancer? When cancer…

Researchers have created an algae-based gel in the lab as a platform for studying mammary epithelial cells, which can turn into cancer cells.

New research tapping into decades-old concepts is challenging the notion that the only way to treat cancer is to kill every last cancer cell. Instead, scientists suggest, we could try a little persuasion

A new link between what cells feed on and their gene activity could have huge implications in cancer research and beyond. The post What immune cells eat can determine how well they do their job appeared first on Advanced Science News .
