Cancer cell biology unravels the molecular and cellular underpinnings of tumour formation, progression and metastasis. At its core, cancer arises as a result of dysregulated cell cycle control, ...

The field of regulated cell death has undergone a transformative shift with the discovery of novel modalities beyond apoptosis, such as ferroptosis, which ...

When the team knocked out the P2Y2 receptor in drug-resistant cancer cells, it led to an almost complete loss of the mutant EGFR protein.

How could patients with advanced breast cancer survive more than twenty years after a simple vaccine trial? This medical observation piqued the curiosity of scientists, who decided to reexamine ...

The process by which glycoRNAs are created and deployed to the cell surface has been identified by Boston Children’s Hospital researchers.

Understanding these microscopic messengers could change the fight against metastasis. Preventing cancer from spreading ...

A team of Canadian scientists has uncovered a new way to slow the growth of glioblastoma, the most aggressive and currently ...

Ubiquitination is a crucial post-translational modification process where the small protein ubiquitin is attached to target proteins, marking them for degradation or altering their function. This ...

The Undergraduate Cancer Biology Society (UCBS) was started in 2022 with inaugural President Sarah Elimam. Now our third year as a UAB Registered Student Organization, UCBS is excited to continue its ...

A new study reveals a simple and fast, label-free way to distinguish aggressive cancer cells by how they physically behave.

Circulating tumor cells were first described in 1869 by Thomas Ashworth, an Australian pathologist who observed them in a peripheral blood sample taken from a patient with metastatic cancer. 1 They ...
