Shotgun sequencing is a powerful tool in microbial genomics, but viral genomes have proven tough to crack.

It’s often difficult to target pancreatic cancer cells while sparing healthy tissue – but a new therapy concept not only makes this possible, but also enhances the potential effectiveness of adjuvant treatments

When genetics yielded unsatisfactory answers about pancreatic cancer’s persistent survival, researchers looked beyond the genome – and found telling epigenetic changes

A new immunotherapy approach shows that engineered T cells are able to penetrate into pancreatic tumors and directly attack the cancer

The epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition in pancreatic cancer may play a role in its resistance to treatment – and inhibiting it may improve treatment efficacy

Pancreatic cancer is tough to understand, diagnose and treat. Undeterred researchers are on a quest to crack the case.

The vast majority of experimental cancer drugs fail during the later stages of clinical development

A new method could dramatically speed up analysis of nucleic acid thermal behavior

Data from a large-scale trial suggest that screening cuts ovarian cancer mortality rates by 25 percent – but some remain skeptical
