Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide, and among all cancers, colorectal cancer ranks second in mortality, responsible for more than 900,000 deaths in 2020.

Cedars-Sinai scientists have developed an experimental drug that repairs DNA and serves as a prototype for a new class of medications that fix tissue damage caused by heart attack, inflammatory disease or other conditions.

A cancer-targeting antibody that helps the body’s immune cells spot and destroy hard-to-treat tumors such as triple-negative breast cancer has been developed by researchers.

Small, cancer-associated DNA circles “hitchhike” on chromosomes during cell division to spread efficiently to daughter cells by co-opting a process used to maintain cellular identity through generations, Stanford Medicine-led research has found.

A team led by researchers from Penn State College of Medicine has developed a new method that substantially improves the ability to map the genetic variants that drive disease, particularly neurodegenerative diseases.

Studying T cells, the immune cells most responsible for responding to infections and cancers, just received a significant boost in the form of a new technique from St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital

A patented RNA-based cocktail developed at the Italian Institute of Technology (IIT-Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia) has emerged as a promising active agent against tumors of the central nervous system, such as glioblastoma.

Inside a lab in the French city of Orleans, scientists are testing out the limits of molecules in our body called messenger RNA—best known for being used in COVID-19 vaccines—in the hopes of finding a breakthrough treatment for a particularly deadly cancer.

Researchers at the Eye Genetics Research Unit at Children’s Medical Research Institute (CMRI) are the first in the world to use stem cells to study one of the genetic causes of Leber Congenital Amaurosis (LCA)—a rare condition that causes severe vision loss in babies and young children.
