Doxorubicin is a chemotherapy drug used to treat many cancers, but it causes serious heart damage in some patients. Heart muscle cells made from the skin cells of breast cancer patients can be used to study this phenomenon.

People with cancer have tumor DNA in their blood. A new way to quiet background “noise” in the blood sample allows researchers to sequence minute quantities of these molecules to improve diagnosis and treatment.

Researchers have identified a link between the expression of a cancer-related gene and cell-surface molecules that protect tumors from the immune system.

A small subset of colon cancers lacks the CDX2 protein — a hallmark of colon tissue maturation. Patients with these cancers may benefit more than others from chemotherapy.

Crystal Mackall will lead the university’s efforts to translate basic science discoveries into immune-based treatments for pediatric and adult cancers.

Researchers have developed a new way to use atomic force microscopy to rapidly measure the mechanical properties of cells, an advance that could pave the way for better understanding immune disorders and cancer.
