Mapping cells’ mechanical properties for insight into metastasis

A new approach allows researchers to investigate cells’ mechanical properties in tissue-like environments.

Clinical trial researching therapy for tumors that have spread to the lining of the abdomen

A clinical trial led by Andrew M. Blakely, M.D., Assistant Research Physician in the Surgical Oncology Program, is researching a combination drug therapy for peritoneal carcinomatosis, a condition in which tumors have spread along the lining of the abdomen from the appendix, colon, ovary or mesothelioma.

Clinical trial researches drug therapy for bone marrow neoplasms

A clinical trial led by Steven Z. Pavletic, M.D., Senior Clinician in the Immune Deficiency Cellular Therapy Program, is researching a therapy for myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), a group of bone marrow neoplasms.

Liver cancer may unexpectedly be influenced by platelets

Platelets have long been associated with more aggressive cancers; however, new results show that these cell fragments release molecules with anti-tumor properties against liver cancer, reducing tumor burden in mice. The results provide detailed insights into the mysterious role of platelets in cancer progression.

Clinical trial researching therapy for prostate cancer

A clinical trial led by Ravi A. Madan, M.D., Senior Clinician in the Genitourinary Malignancies Branch, is researching a combination drug therapy for prostate cancer.

A clinical trial led by Jung-Min Lee, M.D., Lasker Clinical Research Scholar in the Women’s Malignancies Branch, is researching a combination drug therapy for cancers of the ovaries, fallopian tubes or peritoneum.

Aligned Blog: Reconciliation: Two Days of Freedom

A few weeks ago, many across the U.S. celebrated Independence Day, but for some Americans, the 4^th of July is a complicated day that represents neither freedom nor independence. What does the legacy of Independence Day mean for different communities and how might we also use the day as a moment of reflection?

TOP3B (pink structure) and DDX5 (green structure) are working together to unwind and cut a tangled R-loop.

Study finds that enzyme can disentangle strands of DNA and RNA

R-loops are three-stranded hybrid structures of DNA and RNA that play important regulatory functions in cells. Tangled R-loops can cause a number of issues in the genome and subsequently affect people’s health. CCR researchers have uncovered the mechanisms that the enzyme topoisomerase 3B uses to disentangle problematic R-loops.

Photomicrograph of a diffuse large B-cell lymphoma

New insights into the origins of an aggressive form of lymphoma

A new study sheds light on the origin of an aggressive subtype of diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL). The findings could help researchers develop more targeted therapies for this form of blood cancer.

Bacteria inside lung tumors concentrate within cancer cells

Researchers discovered that tumor-promoting signals are elevated in lung tumor cells with high concentrations of bacteria. These findings support the idea that reducing bacteria in the lungs might be beneficial for patients with lung cancer.
