Cancer research is a rapidly evolving field with new discoveries emerging daily on its biology, prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. In particular, the recent achievement of several
Stiff old arteries contribute to cardiovascular disease in the elderly, which is a leading cause of death. De Picciotto et al. report that age-related deterioration
Tumor Heterogeneity and Plasticity Both genetic and phenotypic tumor heterogeneity (see Glossary) are important contributing factors to therapy resistance and tumor regrowth. During tumor progression,
In 2010 the J. Craig Venter Institute (JCVI) shocked the scientific world by creating the first synthetic cell,Mycoplasma mycoides JCVI-syn1.0, which contained slightly over 1
n the last decade or so, researchers have spent billions of dollars categorizing the microbes that populate sites as disparate as the human body, soil,
Scientists from KU Leuven in Belgium say they have shown that next-generation cell-based immunotherapy may offer new hope in the fight against brain cancer. Cell-based
In a new landmark study, researchers from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill were able to convert skin cells into cancer-hunting stem cells
Vice President Joe Biden, in describing the cancer research initiative President Obama asked him to lead, said “the goal of this initiative—this ‘moonshot’ is to
Preserving the distinction between research purposes and clinical applications, the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA), a U.K. regulatory body, has approved the use of
Merck & Co. said this afternoon it has acquired IOmet Pharma, a small-molecule drug developer focused on cancer immunotherapy and cancer metabolism, for an undisclosed

It’s hard to recall a revolution that has swept biology more swiftly than CRISPR. Just 3 years ago, scientists reported that the CRISPR system an
Patients with lung cancer may undergo endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) a technique used to diagnose and stage cancer, in which an imaging scope
Imaging Life-science imaging broke barriers this year, as scientists built upon microscopy approaches to peer ever deeper into living tissues. In October, Purdue University’s Ji-Xin
For obese patients undergoing a gastric bypass, such as the commonly used Roux-en-Y procedure, the surgery is extensive. “It basically changes the whole anatomy of
Motivation facilitates recovery after neuronal damage, but its mechanism is elusive. It is generally thought that the nucleus accumbens (NAc) regulates motivation-driven effort but is
A revolutionary way of making stem cells claimed last year by Japanese and US researchers never existed in the first place. That is the conclusion
The technique: To rapidly assemble and disassemble engineered tissue in culture, researchers at the University of Toronto have designed a system of biocompatible scaffold sheets

Scientists at the Aortic Institute at Yale tested the genomes of more than 100 patients with thoracic aortic aneurysms, a potentially lethal condition, and provided
For 20 years, DNA microarrays have been the go-to method for revealing patterns of gene expression. But as the price of next-generation sequencing continues to
Last summer, infectious disease specialist Gregory Poland saw a patient at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, who had a fever, a rash, kidney failure,
In order to develop a better understanding of the mechanisms that cause some cancer cells to break away from the primary tumor and migrate to
Being able to identify the exact moment when biomolecules are produced would be an invaluable tool for researchers, but in many cases the technology has
