Researchers at the annual American Association for Cancer Research meeting discuss the roles of adipose tissue and inflammation in the growth and spread of tumors.

Since first proposing that a cell’s function and biology depend on its surroundings, Mina Bissell continues to probe the role of the extracellular matrix.

Using biocompatible polymers to carry cancer immune therapies directly to the tumor

Analyzing single cell sequences to decipher the evolution of a tumor

Meet some of the people featured in the April 2017 issue of The Scientist.

Researchers unravel the sophisticated ways cancers evade treatments, including immunotherapies, designed to destroy them.

Tumors’ mutations can encode the seeds of their own destruction, in the form of immunogenic peptides recognized by T cells.

Neoantigens may serve as valuable targets for new immunotherapies.

A follow-up study confirms that random mutations acquired during normal stem cell division likely play a major role in cancer incidence.

Researchers discover that short pieces of DNA harboring oncogenes are relatively widespread in cancer.
