Cancer begins in your cells, which are the building blocks of your body. Normally, your body forms new cells as you need them, replacing old cells that die. Sometimes this process goes wrong. New cells grow even when you don't need them, and old cells don't die when they should. These extra cells can form a mass called a tumor. Tumors can be benign or malignant. Benign tumors aren't cancer while malignant ones are. Cells from malignant tumors can invade nearby tissues. They can also break away and spread to other parts of the body.

Cloud-based platform enables easy access to global genomics databases

The capacity to examine large numbers of genomes is expensive and time-consuming, thus using genomics to uncover risk factors for major diseases is difficult.

Moffitt researchers unravel the role of B cells in endometrial cancer

Endometrial cancer is the most common cancer of the female reproductive system. Patients who have active immune responses against cancer cells tend to have better outcomes, but much of what is known focuses on only one type of immune cell called T cells.

Study finds gene family that regulates tissue-specific DNA methylation patterns

According to researchers at Salk, the CLASSY gene family controls which portions of the genome are turned off in a tissue-specific manner.

Researchers determine how key protein drives the defense system to fight viruses

Scientists have just found a solution to a major mystery that explains how human blood cells train the defense system against viruses. They hope that this discovery will one day allow them to better control the response and either boost or calm it as needed.
