A pioneering study unveiled that the 3D organization of DNA can influence the progression of the aggressive brain tumour known as glioblastoma. Having identified the factors that glioblastoma uses to respond to neurons by growing and spreading.

Improving treatments for triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), an aggressive tumor with very poor prognosis and limited therapeutic targets, has been challenging.

A new study has revealed some of the mechanics underlying how breast cancer cells invade healthy tissues. The research, which may offer new drug targets against the spread of cancer cells (metastasis), is published in Advanced Science.

An enzyme that may help some breast cancers spread can be stopped with an antibody created in Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. With further development, the antibody might offer an effective drug treatment for those same breast cancers.

Researchers made the breakthrough discovery that the genetically encoded T-cell receptor (TCR) sequence that humans develop in early childhood determines a T cell’s function.

Imaging technology developed at Garvan shows that bone-resorbing osteoclasts gather in distinct pockets, leading to new insights for osteoporosis and cancer treatment.

Sunscreen is important, says Dr. Ivan Litvinov, but it is also the least effective way to protect your skin compared to sun protective clothing and sun avoidance.

A new drug combination could increase progression-free survival rates of metastatic colorectal cancer patients with a rare genetic tumor mutation.

Findings reveal the likely reason why certain chemotherapies are effective for many patients. Importantly, they also help explain why attempts to find new chemo drugs based solely on stopping cellular division have been so disappointing.

A new reactor the size of a minifridge that rapidly grows cancer-killing white blood cells could advance the availability of immunotherapy.
