How cells divide for growth and reproduction, the phases of mitosis and meiosis, checkpoints, and what goes wrong in cancer and Down syndrome.

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infects about 9 in 10 adults, causes mono, and is tied to several cancers and multiple sclerosis. How it hides and what research shows.

How HPV infects cells, how E6 and E7 proteins drive cervical and throat cancers, why most infections clear, and what vaccination and screening data show.

How checkpoint inhibitors, CAR-T cells, and cancer vaccines turned the immune system into a cancer treatment — and why it only works for some patients

ISS experiments reveal that cancer cells behave differently in microgravity, sometimes becoming more aggressive but also more vulnerable—insights accelerating cancer research.

Australia has the world's highest cancer incidence rate — 468 cases per 100,000 people. Denmark leads Europe. The US ranks 5th globally. High-income countries detect more cancer but survive it better. Cancer kills 10 million people annually — the world's second-leading cause of death.

40% of cancers are preventable through lifestyle changes. Tobacco causes 30% of all cancer deaths. Obesity is the second leading preventable cause. Here is what the evidence actually shows about reducing cancer risk.

Cancer isn't one disease — it's hundreds, all sharing one root cause: cells that lose control of how they divide. Here's what triggers it, how it spreads, and what we can actually do about it.

The "Big Pharma is hiding the cancer cure" claim is one of the oldest conspiracy theories. Here's why basic economics, biology, and the way drug development actually works make it impossible.
