A team led by researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm has grown three-dimensional clusters of insulin-producing ...

Metastasis, the spread of cancer from a primary tumor to other parts of the body, is difficult to study in the lab, in part because researchers lack reliable ways to recreate the conditions cancer ...

In a pair of studies, investigators from the lab of Huiping Liu, MD, Ph.D., associate professor of Pharmacology and of Medicine in the Division of Hematology and Oncology, have uncovered how specific ...

The results of a preclinical study by researchers at Baylor College of Medicine have uncovered a strategy that triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells use to boost their ability to metastasize.

A soft microrobot uses light driven motion, temperature sensing, and localized heating to control single cells inside 3D cancer microtissues, improving precision in drug testing and tissue engineering ...

Cells can be thought of as cities, with factories, a transport system, and lots of building activity. An international team led by scientists at the University of Groningen studied cells growing under ...

Certain tumor types do not remain at their point of origin but spread throughout the body and form metastases. This is because the primary tumor continuously releases cancer cells into the blood.

Millions of tons of plastic waste accumulate in landfills and oceans every year. One promising response is to engineer ...

A proof-of-concept trial by researchers at ETH Zurich, the University Hospitals of Basel and Zurich, and the Basel-Land Cantonal Hospital, demonstrated that treating breast cancer patients with a low, ...

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine have uncovered a strategy that triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells use to boost their ability to metastasize, or spread to other organs. Metastasis is ...
