In gene therapy, a therapeutic gene is delivered to patient cells, often using a modified virus. Gene therapy might offer an alternative t...

First-ever Compounds To Target Only Metastatic Cells Are Highly Effective Against Breast, Prostate, And Colon Cancers

...ll culture studies suggest they can reproduce that success in a wide range of other cancers, too. "What's unique about these analogues is that they do all this without affecting primary tumor cells, or their blood supply," Dr. Huang said. "To our knowledge, that's a real first." Exact mechanisms remain unc...

Nano-Probes Allow an Inside Look at Cell Nuclei
