Vaccines targeting some of our deadliest cancers are showing promise in early trials.

Cancers can’t develop without genetic mutations — or can they?

They call it “Judo T-cell therapy,” and it’s 100 times more potent than regular CAR-T cells.

The evidence that pollution causes cancer is weak. Lifestyle factors, like smoking, obesity, and alcohol, matter far more.

Cancer cells hoard iron in unusually high quantities. Scientists have discovered how to leverage this to create safer cancer drugs.

“Having more stem cell activity is good for regeneration, but too much of a good thing over time can have less favorable consequences.”

Some go gently into the night. Others die less prettily in freak accidents or deadly invasions, or after a showy display.

More than 90% of sexually active men will be infected with human papillomavirus in their lifetime. The virus may reduce fertility.

Cancer likes glucose. So take it away.

It could lead to earlier diagnoses, better treatment, and fewer deaths from pancreatic cancer, which kills 88% of patients within five years.

Unless you’re drinking a dozen diet sodas per day, you have nothing to worry about — and maybe not even then.

Positron emission tomography (PET) scans use positrons — the antimatter equivalent of an electron — to locate cancer in the body.

Early, non-aggressive tumors should be called “nodules.”

Epigenetic entropy shows that you can’t fully understand cancer without mathematics.

Scientists are finding tumor signals in spit that could be key to developing diagnostic tests for various types of cancer.

A new study provides the first proof-of-principle that genetic material transferred from one species to another can increase both longevity and healthspan in the recipient animal.

“The only options left were experimental approaches in clinical trials.”

What if AI could tell us we have cancer before we show a single symptom? Steve Quake, head of science at the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, explains how AI can revolutionize science.

A study of spinal development took a strange turn and made a surprise discovery.

CRISPR, stem cells, and even cancer drugs are helping shape an AIDS-free future.

Rapamycin is potentially the most powerful anti-aging drug ever discovered. However, due to its unlucky history, few know of it.

“Rational vaccinology” could lead to effective cancer vaccines.

To put things in perspective, the cost of sequencing a single genome in 2012 was around $10,000.

The miniaturization of particle accelerators could disrupt medical science.

People with higher immune resilience live longer, resist diseases, and are more likely to survive diseases when they do develop.

The president identified developing MCED tests as a priority for the Cancer Moonshot.

Scientists are working to map out the risks of the permafrost thaw, which could expose millions of people to the invisible cancer-causing gas.

Dennis Klatt developed trailblazing text-to-speech systems before losing his own voice to cancer.

This small phase 1 study suggests that CRISPR-engineered T cells are safe and potentially effective, but there is a long way to go.
