Small cell lung cancer cells that metastasize to the brain cozy up to neurons and form working electrical connections, called ...

Researchers reveal that lung cancer cells form direct synapses with neurons to grow and proliferate, opening the door to new ...

When it comes to their survival, cancer cells have a host of backup plans. This is especially true of the nutrients that ...

Mitochondria act as energy factories in cells and have their own, separate DNA. Mutations to mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) have been observed in cancer, but it has been unclear how these changes might ...

Researchers have discovered that brain cancer cells reprogram their sugar metabolism, a vulnerability that can be exploited ...

Cancer cells have one relentless goal: to grow and divide. While most stick together within the original tumor, some rogue ...

Exercising muscles pumps out substances that can suppress the growth of breast cancer cells, according to a new study of ...

New results from a clinical trial show that existing drugs can successfully kill dormant breast cancer cells, thereby reducing lifetime risk of recurrence.

The breast tumor cells appear to gain access to the fat cells’ content by poking a straw-like structure into the fat cells and then dislodging the lipids stored there.

When it comes to cancer -- when cells divide abnormally, grow out of control, and destroy tissues, bones, and organs -- a proactive approach significantly increases the chances of early detection, ...

An international research team has shown that lung cancer cells can form functional synapses with neurons, effectively ...

Small cell lung cancer often metastasizes to the brain. A Stanford Medicine-led study shows the cancer cells form synapses with neurons, and signaling across these synapses encourages tumor growth.
