    Effort to repeat key cancer biology experiments reveals challenges and opportunities to improve replicability

    A large-scale systematic investigation to replicate high-impact, preclinical cancer biology experiments identified barriers to conducting replications and observed weaker evidence for the findings compared with the original experiments. Unnecessary friction in the research process may be slowing the advancement of knowledge, solutions and treatments.
