While it is widely known that cigarettes can lead to lung cancer development, other factors may pose similar hazards with even more resonance. One of them is...
We previously demonstrated that commonly used food additives can modify the community of micro-organisms that live in our intestine, and by doing so, boost the...
One of the most iconic images in biology is the 23 pairs of chromosomes in the human cell. It is central to the paradigm of inheritance. Our recent findings...
By targeting the machines that control the quality of DNA, we generated a high number of “warning lights” that make cancer detectable by the immune system.
There is a microscopic society living within us. Many of them reside in our gut. In some colon cancers, toxin-producing bacteria invade the mucus and form a...
In contrast to our knowledge about the relationship between smoking and cancer, the public’s understanding of the link between alcohol and cancer is poor. We...
In this study, we demonstrated that the immune response in cancer patients could sometimes inhibit, but other times enhance tumor cells' growth.
Cancer tissues are often thought to be sterile entities in the human body, exempt from the influence of our microbial cohabitants. To test this theory, we...
Tumor infiltration of a certain immune cell, a CD8 T-cell, is known to predict patient outcomes in many cancers, and we found that this same parameter predicts...
Even though aging is the main risk factor for cancer, the age of a patient is still not generally accounted for in cancer research and clinical trials. We...
Scientist are now able to modify the DNA of living organisms, thanks to the development of a new technology called CRISPR/Cas9. Recently, they designed a new...
