New tool unravels the mystery of DNA-RNA interactions in single cells

Cancers begin with abnormal changes in individual cells, and the ability to track the accumulation of mutations at the single-cell level can shed new light on the early stages of the disease. Such knowledge could enable more effective early detection and treatment options for patients as well as more accurate predictions of disease progression.

New approach detects T cells in "cold" tumors, paves way for broader immunotherapy

Most cancers are thought to evade the immune system. These cancers don't carry very many mutations, and they aren't infiltrated by cancer-fighting immune cells. Scientists call these cancers immunologically "cold."
