CHAPEL HILL, North Carolina — New insights into the biology of kidney cancer, including those informed by scientific discoveries that earned a Nobel Prize, have led to advances in treatment and increased survival rates, according to a review by UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center’s William

Cancer cells have voracious appetites. And there are certain nutrients they can’t live without. Scientists have long hoped they might stop tumors in their tracks by cutting off an essential part of cancer cells’ diet. But these cells are crafty and often find a new

LA JOLLA, CA—Fighting cancer effectively often involves stopping cancer cells from multiplying, which requires understanding proteins that the cells rely on to survive. Protein profiling plays a critical role in this process by helping researchers identify proteins—and their specific parts—that future drugs should target. But
