Researchers at Cardiff University have uncovered how a particularly severe form of DNA damage arises—shedding new light on ...

An estimated 170,000 Australians were diagnosed with cancer in 2025. Many people know the causes of cancer are partly genetic. But how do your genes, which contribute so much of what makes you you, ...

UC San Diego professor Ludmil Alexandrov will lead an international team of scientists awarded $25 million to research cancer mutations. The award comes from Cancer Grand Challenges, a collaboration ...

After decades of fixating on mutations in nuclear DNA as the prime suspects in cancer development, researchers are increasingly peering into the cell’s powerhouse for clues. Mutations in mitochondrial ...

By Tarun Sai Lomte Scientists reveal how evolution within our own tissues can drive disease, protect cells, and uncover hidden therapeutic targets for future precision medicine. Somatic genomics ...

Cancer expert Dr Thomas Seyfried says preventing cancer cell growth involves cutting off their fuel supply: glucose and glutamine. He shares 2 ways to do this.

Cancer cells are often described as “glutamine addicted,” relying heavily on this amino acid to fuel growth. But new research reveals how some tumors sidestep this vulnerability.

Houston Methodist scientists have uncovered an unexpected side of a protein best known for its link to brain diseases. The ...

Science journalist Khamsi demonstrates in this accessible debut examination that one’s DNA is not a static set of instructions but a continuously mutating blueprint. Understanding the genetic ...

A new study shows cancer cells depend on vitamin B7 to use pyruvate as backup fuel, opening new strategies for targeted therapy.
