Switching off drug-resistant cancer

By manipulating cancer evolution, researchers destroy resistant tumors in animal model With their eclectic mix of mutations, tumors often survive drug treatment. In a new study, researchers found a way to use cancer’s evolutionary potential against it, destroying...

Microgrippers for myriad miniature biopsies

Typical diagnosis of upper urinary tract cancers requires removal of suspicious tissue with forceps, a technically challenging procedure that only samples one region of the organ. NIBIB-funded researchers are developing microgrippers that could be deployed throughout...
