In a recent study published in Science Advances, Charles E. Gast and co-workers detail the spontaneous process of cancer cell fusion with white blood cells to produce heterogenous hybrid clones in multiple biological systems, ...
What if social behavior affected the progression of even noncontagious diseases? This has now been demonstrated by French CNRS teams and international collaborators. Using a fly model of intestinal cancer, the researchers ...
