A Johns Hopkins University biologist is part of a research team that has demonstrated a way to size up a cell's resistance to radiation, a step that could eventually help improve cancer treatments.
STANFORD, Calif. - Much to the dismay of patients and physicians, cancer stem cells - tiny powerhouses that generate and maintain tumor growth in many types of cancers - are relatively resistant to ...

KORTUC is upgrading radiotherapy from the inside—and giving radiation-resistant cancer patients a second chance
And yet, for roughly 10% of cancer patients, it quietly fails. Not because the machines aren’t advanced enough—but because biology gets in the way. Hypoxic, enzyme-protected tumors create ...

MADISON -- Scientists in the University of Wisconsin-Madison Department of Biochemistry are watching evolution happen in real time. In a recent study published online in the Journal of Bacteriology, ...
It turns out that our atmosphere is really important. (Surprise!) No, not just because we have to breathe. The thin layer of (mostly) oxygen and nitrogen that girds Earth also serves as a buffer zone ...
