NIH-funded researchers reveal new insights into cancer biology and tumor development
nih.gov —
Scientists funded by the NIH have released new findings on cancer biology from the Human Tumor Atlas Network. Ten studies will be published on October 31, 2024, in various Nature journals, focusing on tumor development and treatment responses. The research highlights the tumor microenvironment's role in cancer spread and resistance. It also tracks precancerous colorectal tissues' progression and introduces advanced single-cell technologies for analysis. Launched in 2018, the Human Tumor Atlas Network aims to create detailed maps of human tumors. This initiative provides valuable resources for understanding cancer development and improving prevention and treatment strategies.
