In mice, the oral bacteria F. nucleatum can travel to mammary tissue via the bloodstream, where it can damage healthy cells.

Researchers have developed two innovative tools to help us delve deeper into cell communication, offering spatial insight ...

A bacterium best known for causing gum disease may also influence how breast cancer begins and spreads. A team at the Kimmel Cancer Center and the Bloomberg~Kimmel Institute for Cancer Immunotherapy r ...

University of Queensland researchers who mapped cancer cell "neighborhoods" in the most common type of lung cancer have found ...

The researchers used lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) to deliver cyclic GMP-AMP (cGAMP) synthase (cGAS) mRNA to cancer cells. This results in production of the endogenous stimulator of interferon genes ...

Fusobacterium nucleatum can drive DNA damage, tumor growth and metastasis, with heightened effects in cells with BRCA1 gene mutations.

Pancreatic cancer has long been feared for its silence and speed, often spreading before symptoms push patients into the ...
