Researchers are uncovering how circular bits of DNA found in some cancer cells can help tumors evolve and kill.

Best known as a cell cycle regulator, p53 signaling mediates pro and anti-cancer immune responses as well

The Harvard Medical School researcher’s work on the genetic basis of protein coding and production led him to make groundbreaking discoveries in immunology, molecular biology, and cancer genetics.

The agency gave personal genomics company 23andMe the green light to screen samples for breast cancer–related genetic mutations.

When transplanted into mice, tumor genomes evolve differently than they do in patients, study finds.

The transcriptional regulator dampens the immune system’s ability to elicit an antitumor response, a study shows.

Chris Marshall, who pieced together a critical signaling pathway involved in cancer, has passed away at age 66.

The same microRNAs can have opposing roles in cancer.
