Researchers at MD Anderson have discovered that cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAF) help fuel the growth of breast tumors. Their findings were published in Cell Reports on June 2, and an image from their study was featured on the cover of the journal issue.

Raghu Kalluri, M.D., Ph.D., professor and chair of Cancer Biology and senior author for this study, explains, “Tumors are made of many more non-cancer cells than cancer cells...

Researchers from MD Anderson have revealed how glioma cells move and infiltrate the brain, providing a new potential treatment pathway to explore against these deadly brain tumors.

“Glioma is not usually resectable or curable because it spreads diffusely throughout the brain, like mold in bread. We found that glioma cells form a moving network, and we’ve identified a novel mechanism that could be targeted to halt that cellular...
