Gliomas are cancers that originate directly in the brain, instead of spreading to the brain from other parts of the body.

For roughly 400 years, microscopes have allowed us to observe increasingly smaller details. Today's most advanced instruments can peer deep into living cells, helping researchers study diseases such ...

New NE-AFM method measures nuclear stiffness in living cells. It shows cancer nuclei change softness with chromatin and environment, aiding diagnosis and treatment. By employing a technique called ...

CellVoyant, a U.K.-based startup, has launched an AI platform that allows scientists to predict the future health and performance of human cells based on their appearance in microscope images—a ...

Stage 3 prostate cancer is locally advanced, with tumors extending beyond the prostate but not metastasizing distantly. Diagnosis involves the TNM system, Gleason score, PSA tests, and imaging to ...

Scientists at New York University have found that cancer cells work together to source nutrients from their environment—a cooperative process that was previously overlooked by researchers. The team’s ...

Chemotherapy drugs that target cancer cells without damaging normal cells remain one of the key goals of precision medicine ...

Researchers have created tiny metal-based particles that push cancer cells over the edge while leaving healthy cells mostly unharmed. The particles work by increasing internal stress in cancer cells ...

Researchers at the Nano Life Science Institute (WPI-NanoLSI), Kanazawa University, report in ACS Applied Nano Materials a new method to precisely measure nuclear elasticity—the stiffness or softness ...
