Established laboratory tests mainly capture average values across many cells and show, for example, how many cancer cells survive after contact with immune cells.

UCT-led researchers decoded how cancer rewires the MUC1 protein’s sugar coating to evade immune detection, paving the way for ...

In the intricate biology of the human body, organs such as the breast, the colon and the lungs are lined with a defensive ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

In the intricate biology of the human body, organs such as the breast, the colon and the lungs are lined with a defensive barrier known as the epithelium. At the heart of this barrier sits a ...
