Breast luminal epithelial cells are the hotspots of aging-associated changes, which prime aged epithelia for oncogenic gene activation and may explain individual differences in breast cancer susceptibility due to the aging-associated increase in gene expression variances in luminal epithelia.

A project to repeat experiments from high-impact papers in cancer biology encountered a series of challenges, many of which were caused by a lack of detail in the original papers.
The integrated quantification of spontaneous dynamic cell-cell force transmissions at both multi-cellular and subcellular scales enables spatiotemporal correlations of stress distribution with biomolecules in small cell clusters.
Results from the Reproducibility Project: Cancer Biology provide a picture of the rate of false positives in cancer preclinical research, but it is still not clear if research in this field is less reproducible than it should be.
Computer visualization techniques developed for video games can be repurposed to enable viewers to explore cells and their environment in three dimensions.
