A groundbreaking tumour-highlighting technology – OTL38 – enhances the visualisation of lung cancer tissue, providing surgeons with a significantly better chance of finding and removing more cancer than previously possible.

A protein naturally produced in the body has been found to suppress breast cancer metastasis in animal models of human tumours.

Zika virus infection can stunt neonatal brain development, a condition known as microcephaly, in which babies are born with abnormally […]

UK scientists have identified a new way to kill pancreatic cancer cells by ‘pulling the plug’ on the energy generator that fuels calcium pumps on their cell surface.
