SPOP is the most mutated protein in prostate cancer and plays a role in endometrial, uterine and other cancers. Despite this importance, how SPOP mutations drive cancer has been incompletely ...

By moving around, some cancer cells force attacking immune cells to just nibble at the edges rather than engulf them ...

Two-photon microscopy is effective in visualizing the spread of squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue, according to a study in the Journal of Visualized Experiments (July 25, 2011). Orthotopic mouse ...

Are virtual biopsies the key to earlier and more accurate detection of oral and head and neck cancers? While several next-generation optical techniques -- including optical coherence tomography (OCT), ...

Researchers have created a tool that maps how breast cancer grows in previously unseen detail, and highlights how the cells around the tumor may be the key to controlling the spread of disease. New ...
