Targeting the transcription factor c-Myc via one of its coactivator proteins is a promising strategy for cancer therapy.

Analysis of experiments on bacteria suggests that the dependence of cell size on growth rate is not an adaptation but a causal consequence of a regulatory mechanism that controls DNA replication.

The first results from the Reproducibility Project: Cancer Biology suggest that there is scope for improving reproducibility in pre-clinical cancer research.

Biological variability has confounded efforts to confirm the role of PREX2 mutations in melanoma.

A motor protein called Klp10A ensures that germline stem cells in male fruit flies divide to produce two sibling cells that are equal in size.

The development of the tsetse fly immune system relies on a cue from an endosymbiotic bacterium called Wigglesworthia.

Streptomyces bacteria employ a newly-discovered cell type, the "explorer" cell, to rapidly colonize new areas in the face of competition.

Publication bias, in which positive results are preferentially reported by authors and published by journals, can restrict the visibility of evidence against false claims and allow such claims to be canonized inappropriately as facts.
