A Weill Cornell Medicine team has found that triple-negative breast cancer depends on the enzyme EZH2 to spread. By silencing key genes, EZH2 drives chaotic cell divisions and fuels metastasis.

Immunotherapy, which uses programmed immune cells to selectively destroy cancer cells, has transformed cancer treatment. However, cancer cells have developed immune evasion strategies, leading to poor ...

Centrosomes serve as the principal microtubule organising centres in animal cells, playing a pivotal role in orchestrating cell division, ensuring accurate chromosome segregation and maintaining ...

After staining, cells and their nuclei can be imaged, analyzed and tracked using microscopy. This enables the researchers to watch mitosis in real time and track progress of individual cells. When ...

When cell division (mitosis) takes too long, it can be a sign that something is wrong with the cells, for example DNA damage or chromosomal instability. That's why our cells come with an innate ...

New findings reveal that succinate signaling through SUCNR1 acts as a protective brake in acute myeloid leukemia. Modulating this pathway influenced disease progression in mice and may guide future ...

Human disease including cancer arises from disfunction of essential processes within a cell. One essential cellular process is the copying of the genomic DNA—the road map of cells—followed by ...

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is an aggressive form of blood cancer. It affects people of all ages but is most common in those over 65. Around 150 people are diagnosed with the disease each year in ...

Best thing about my Dickinson experience so far: "One of the highlights of my time at Dickinson has been working in Associate ...
