Cancer Research

Epigenetic entropy shows that you can’t fully understand cancer without mathematics.
rational vaccinology
"Rational vaccinology" could lead to effective cancer vaccines.
crispr
Once activated, the CRISPR-Cas12a2 system goes on a rampage, chopping up DNA and RNA indiscriminately, causing cell death.
Tumor cells traverse many different types of fluids as they travel through the body.
crispr cancer therapy
This small phase 1 study suggests that CRISPR-engineered T cells are safe and potentially effective, but there is a long way to go.
cancer radiation
There may be a faster, less-painful way to use radiation against cancer.
The president identified developing MCED tests as a priority for the Cancer Moonshot.
herpes cancer
Biotechnology can convert enemy viruses into anti-cancer mercenaries.
metastasis
Most patients with cancer die from metastasis. Stopping it would be a major advance in cancer therapy.
Fluphenazine, once used to treat schizophrenia, is capable of blocking a compound connected to chronic pain.
Certain cancers are striking earlier than they used to.
dog cancer vaccine
A successful trial that tested a vaccine against bladder cancer in dogs could help develop a similar one for humans.
crayfish
All marbled crayfish descended from a single clone discovered in Heidelberg, Germany in 1995. 
quantum biology
The spooky world of quantum mechanics might reach out and touch you — by mutating your DNA. Welcome to the weird world of quantum biology.
A new wave of preventative cancer vaccines are set to begin trials.
A person in a red robe sits outdoors holding an hourglass, surrounded by greenery and a body of water, symbolizing predictions for the future.
What lies in store for humanity? Theoretical physicist Michio Kaku explains how different life will be for your descendants—and maybe your future self, if the timing works out.
John Templeton Foundation
cancer bacteria
Intracellular bacteria promote cancer metastasis by enhancing the tumor cells' resistance to mechanical stress in the bloodstream
michio kaku
Michio Kaku predicts, among other things, how we'll build cities on Mars and why cancer will one day be like the common cold.
ants cancer
The insects were just as accurate as trained dogs, although not as cuddly.
problems with no solutions
The very concept of a "problem with no solution" goes against human nature. But we must accept this harsh reality to have peace in our lives.
Metastatic Melanoma Cells
Evolutionary game theory could tip the advantage to medicine.
