How air pollution alters lung tissue, increasing cancer susceptibility
Scientists have identified a mechanism that explains how fine air pollution particles might cause lung cancer, according to a new study.
Epigenetic regulator explains why some lung cancer patients become resistant to common therapeutics
Cellular biologists discover why some patients become resistant to standard treatments for nonsmall cell lung cancer.
Discovery reveals new way to inhibit key cancer driver, other mutated genes
Scientists have discovered a new way to inhibit the most commonly mutated gene underlying human tumor growth, paving the way for new treatments for …
Researchers map lung development after birth into late childhood
How do the lungs develop after taking their first breaths outside the womb? What cellular events and changes early in life give rise to …
Study suggests why most smokers don't get lung cancer
Cigarette smoking is overwhelmingly the main cause of lung cancer, yet only a minority of smokers develop the disease. A study suggests that some …
Novel method to identify and treat aggressive early-stage lung cancers
Researchers have developed a novel method to identify aggressive early-stage lung cancers and target drugs known as aurora kinase inhibitors to tumors that are …
Intense light protects against lung damage, research finds
Intense light activates proteins shown to protect against lung damage in mice, a discovery that could have major therapeutic implications for treating diseases like …
New tool to accelerate drug discovery
New technology will accelerate drug development by allowing researchers a better look inside the cell membrane to observe how cells react to drugs.
Computational approach enables spatial mapping of single-cell data within tissues
A new computational approach successfully combines data from parallel gene-expression profiling methods to create spatial maps of a given tissue at single-cell resolution. The …
Burst of rapid cell motion in 3D tumor model
Biological processes such as wound healing and cancer cell invasion rely on the collective and coordinated motion of living cells. A little understood aspect …
Promising approach against treatment-resistant cancer
A research team has devised a novel and highly promising strategy for overcoming a key cause of cancer deaths: the ability of cancer cells …
Lensless camera captures cellular-level, 3D details in living tissue
The lensless Bio-FlatScope is a small, inexpensive camera to monitor biological activity that can't be captured by conventional instruments. The device could eventually be …
