In a recent study published in Nature, researchers investigate the spatial organization of cancer cells and the tumor microenvironment by analyzing over one hundred tumor sections across six types of ...

Spatial biology has emerged as a highly valuable field of study, examining the relationships between biological cells and molecules in their native spatial orientation, which can occur in both ...

Researchers have identified a single protein whose absence can cripple tumors in mice, slowing their growth and in some cases pushing cancer cells to self-destruct. The work, centered on a molecule ...

The field of cancer immunology has witnessed dramatic progress with the advent of immunotherapies targeting the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME).

What if cutting off a tumor’s fat supply could also rally the immune system to join the fight? Liver cancer fueled by fatty liver disease is on the rise, and with low survival rates, new treatment ...

Seeing inside tumours at the molecular level. This image shows pancreatic cancer tissue samples analysed using mass spectrometry imaging, the type of technology that will be at the heart of the new ...

Spatial biology is reshaping how researchers study cancer by revealing the architecture and complexity of tumors in extraordinary detail. Through techniques that combine protein- and gene-level ...

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is the most common type of pancreatic cancer. With an overall survival rate of around 13%, it’s also one of the deadliest cancers. One reason for this is that ...

Once in the brain, lung cancer cells can plug themselves into the electrical circuitry there and grow, a study of mice shows. The results, published September 10 in Nature, highlight the deep and ...
