A NEW TOOL is helping scientists investigate how cells relate with their neighbors within the tumor environment. The tool, known as COVET, provides a more complete representation of gene expression in niche cells, letting researchers apply powerful existing analysis tools to reveal how cells relate with their neighbors within the tumor environment.

Anyone can get skin cancer. It's more common among people with a light (fair) skin tone, but skin cancer can affect anyone. Skin cancer can affect both men and women. Even teenagers and, rarely, younger children can develop skin cancer. Review our summary for tips on how to protect yourself. https://go.nih.gov/fOUfZVX

NEW RESEARCH by the NCI Center for Cancer Research's investigator Stavroula Mili, Ph.D. suggests that where and how fast a protein is made in the cell affects what it does. Previously, it has been generally assumed that where in the cell proteins are made does not matter much for their function, especially because proteins can move quite freely from one place to another. https://go.nih.gov/xKAYm6D

Ahlina Archibald is a postbaccalaureate research fellow in the National Institutes of Health (NIH): Intramural Research Program (IRP) who studies how molecular gardeners called ribonucleases trim overgrown RNA molecules that contribute to cancer. Figuring out which RNA molecules those ribonucleases remove could reveal new targets for cancer therapies. Watch this video to learn how these molecular gardeners can curtail colorectal cancer.
