Researchers develop a tiny device that motors around the stomach, fueled by its acidic environment.
Starvation paired with cancer drugs slowed or stopped unchecked cell growth in yeast and mouse models of cancer, outpacing or matching the isolated effects of chemo.
A single mutant cell breaks free of its neighbors in the early stages of cancer development.
Research in yeast shows that aneuploidy is both a consequence of and an adaptation to stress.
Whole brain radiation therapy costs mice some of their cognitive abilities, but treatment with low-oxygen air revives their reasoning skills.
Two new sequencing machines will read a human genome in 24 hours.
Certain skin-residing immune cells may—under specific conditions—play a direct role in initiating skin cancer after exposure to environmental toxins.
