The idea that stem cells - special cells that divide to repair and generate tissues - might be the major determinant of cancer risk has provoked great debate in the scientific community. Some ...

DURHAM, N.C. – A new study reveals that small cell lung cancer (SCLC) likely begins in basal stem-like cells rather than in neuroendocrine cells, marking a major shift in the understanding of this ...

Researchers at the Université libre de Bruxelles, ULB define for the first time how the cancer cell of origin controls invasive and metastatic properties of tumor cells. Tumor heterogeneity describes ...

A hidden clue may explain why some mutated cells become cancerous and others don’t: how fast they divide. A new study from researchers at Sinai Health in Toronto reveals that the total time it takes ...

DURHAM, N.C. (WTVD) -- Small cell lung cancer is one of the most aggressive and deadly forms of lung cancer commonly associated with smoking. Now, researchers at Duke Health have uncovered a ...

New research reveals that certain brain tumors may originate silently within normal brain cells long before a tumor forms.

The ability of mutations to cause cancer depends on how fast they force cells to divide, Sinai Health researchers have found. The study, led by Dr. Rod Bremner, a Senior Investigator at the ...

Donald Weaver, a professor of neurology and specialist at the University of Toronto in Canada, said he had long questioned ...

Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is a fast-growing cancer that forms in the lung. It's one of two types of lung cancer. The other type is non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). SCLC is less common than ...
