When a cell divides, it performs a feat of microscopic choreography—duplicating its DNA and depositing it into two new cells.

Some genetic mutations that are expected to completely stop a gene from working surprisingly cause only mild or even no symptoms. Researchers in previous studies have discovered one reason why: cells ...

Immunotherapy, which uses programmed immune cells to selectively destroy cancer cells, has transformed cancer treatment. However, cancer cells have developed immune evasion strategies, leading to poor ...

Cell-free DNA (cfDNA) analysis is transforming precision medicine, offering a non-invasive window into the body, particularly in the context of cancer. This journal collection, hosted by npj Precision ...
