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.

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 .

Meenal Datta, assistant professor of aerospace and mechanical engineering, has received a Cellular and Molecular Bioengineering Young Innovator Award. The award, given by the journal of the Biomedical Engineering Society (BMES), recognizes 12 “rising stars” in the field of biomedical engineering each year. Datta’s research focuses on deciphering the atypical tumor microenvironment that drives dis…

University of Notre Dame researchers are taking their science to space aboard NASA’s 30th SpaceX commercial resupply services mission, which is slated to launch no earlier than Thursday (March 21). The SpaceX Dragon cargo spacecraft will lift off from Florida’s Cape Canaveral Space Force Station and travel to the International Space Station (ISS), which is […] The post Notre Dame sends cancer res…

Exploring the tumor microenvironment (TME) through off-the-shelf tumoroid culture by Kendra Atleework and Dana D’Amico  “Cancer” is a six letter word that evokes a somber, universal understanding of a condition that affects nearly 20 million people globally each year. The simplicity of the term, however, disguises an incredibly complex disease process unfolding at the The post Cancer Research in …

Investigators led by Neil Kelleher, PhD, have developed an automated technique for imaging proteoforms in ovarian cancer, according to results published in Nature Communications. The post Pioneering Automated Proteoform Imaging appeared first on News Center .

Retraction Watch has been a great resource for those of us who have been following research misconduct. They widely cover and conduct research on retractions, corrections, and other developments in this space. Unfortunately, there’s been plenty to write about even just within the stem cell and cell therapy arena, which is my primary interest. Think […] The post Weekly reads: big Retraction Watch …

3D cell culture models have taken center stage as important pre-clinical models, bridging the gap between traditional 2D and animal testing methods. For cancer research and drug development, 3D tumor models can accurately recapitulate some of the clinical characteristics of cancer.1 Developing more clinically relevant models is critical, as there has been a significant and The post Overcoming Cha…

The cello … or cancer research? There was a time when Dr. McLane Watson walked a tightrope, trying to decide between the two. While music aficionados may never know the […] Van Andel Institute - Van Andel Institute transforms human health through groundbreaking biomedical research and cutting-edge science education.
