How do different cancer subtypes arise? Do they originate from distinct cells, or from a single multipotent cell capable of ...

Cancer cell DNA doubling — when cells accidentally duplicate all chromosomes without dividing — now has a new risk factor: cell size. A Virginia Tech study in PNAS found smaller tetraploid cancer ...

In a recent study, Stevens researchers have shown how colorectal cancers can evolve from mature intestinal cells that revert ...

How do different cancer subtypes arise? Do they originate from distinct cells, or from a single multipotent cell capable of ...

Scientists have discovered that a rare “mirror-image” version of the amino acid cysteine can dramatically slow the growth of certain cancers while leaving healthy cells largely untouched. Unlike most ...

Megan Sweet slices tumors. A normal day in the lab finds the Virginia Tech graduate student with hands deep inside a refrigerated metal box, pulling a mounted mouse-grown tumor incrementally closer to ...

For decades, scientists have been all about DNA when it comes to cancer. But new research from Virginia Tech and Tel Aviv ...

Scientists have uncovered a surprising twist in how cells behave when division goes wrong. Sometimes a cell successfully copies its DNA but fails to split into two, leaving it with double the genetic ...

Researchers found that smaller cancer cells with doubled DNA often behaved more aggressively than larger ones.

A groundbreaking study from Hokkaido University reveals how different mechanisms of DNA duplication affect cell survival, ...
