Medically reviewed by Doru Paul, MD Leukemia is a cancer of the blood-forming tissues that often develops in the bone marrow.

"Cyto" means cell and "toxic" means poison. You might hear the word when talking about chemotherapy drugs that kill cancer cells. It can also describe other toxins like venom from snakes. The human ...

Researchers hunting for a cure for cancer have made a groundbreaking discovery that could turn some cancer cells into 'normal' cells. Cancer occurs in the body when the DNA of a cell mutates, causing ...

have developed a technology that transforms colon cancer cells into normal-like cells without destroying them. This innovative approach, led by Professor Kwang-Hyun Cho of the Department of Bio ...

Working with a line of colon cancer cells, Korean researchers figured out a way to throw a few genetic switches to cause the cells to revert back to a healthy state. The technique could have major ...

enabling them to destroy up to 99% of cancer cells. Their success includes promising results in lab-grown cells and mice with melanoma tumors.
