Mechanical properties of cells and tissues play an important role in many physiological processes, including cell adhesion and migration, interaction with extracellular matrix, embryogenesis, wound ...

This study investigates the concentration-dependent cytotoxicity of aluminum-doped zinc oxide nanoparticles on breast cancer (MDA-MB-231) and normal mammary epithelial cells (MCF-10 A). Pure and ...

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 ...

A comprehensive multi-cancer study by researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center has revealed that ...

A counterintuitive discovery published today is reshaping how scientists think about one of cancer's most common genomic events: when a cell accidentally duplicates its entire DNA supply and fails to ...

You might think of cancer as a mass of rogue cells that grow uncontrollably. But cancer is more organized and strategic than ...

Mitochondrial dynamics, governed by the interplay of fission and fusion proteins, are essential for maintaining cellular function and homeostasis. Fission facilitates glycolysis, mitophagy, apoptosis, ...

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 ...

Cancer cells can brainwash their neighbors. Like the CIA deploying secret agents to turn an enemy, tumors use a similar strategy to manipulate nearby cells. The tumors’ agents are mitochondria, the ...

A therapy that has revolutionised how we treat blood and skin cancers could become even more effective. Making cancer cells stiffer bolstered the effects of immunotherapy, when the immune system is ...
