Circulating tumor cells were first described in 1869 by Thomas Ashworth, an Australian pathologist who observed them in a peripheral blood sample taken from a patient with metastatic cancer. 1 They ...

Figure illustrating how circulating tumor cells (CTCs) evade immune defenses in the bloodstream by upregulating immune checkpoints, altering MHC class I expression, forming clusters, and interacting ...

Identifying and delineating cell structures in microscopy images is crucial for understanding the complex processes of life. This task is called "segmentation" and it enables a range of applications, ...

MSK researchers are shedding new light on G-quadruplexes, a type of secondary DNA structure that can cause DNA replication to stall. The structures are a potential therapeutic target in cancer. Image ...

Liquid biopsy, a noninvasive method used for analysis of circulating biomarkers like tumor cells, DNA, and exosomes from bodily fluids, shows promise in advancing cancer research for future diagnostic ...

Researchers shed new light on G-quadruplexes, a type of secondary DNA structure that has attracted attention as a potential therapeutic target in cancer. Every day, billions of cells in your body ...
