For millions of households, cats are family. Now, new genetic research suggests they may also help scientists better understand cancer. In a study published in Science, researchers analyzed tumors ...

Cats could hold the key to curing breast cancer and other deadly forms of the disease, suggests new research. The first study of multiple cancer types in cats has identified genetic changes that could ...

Louise van der Weyden is a dog person. But as a scientist who studies cancer in animals, she has turned her attention to cats in recent years. Insight into feline cancers has been like "a black box," ...

Scientists have mapped the genetics of cancer in cats for the first time at scale, uncovering major overlaps with human cancers. Key mutations—like those linked to breast cancer—appear in both species ...

They live in our houses, drink our water and even sleep in our beds. Cats have become an integral part of many households and share much of our lives. They also share much of their biology with humans ...

The first study of multiple cancer types in cats has identified genetic changes that could help treat the condition in humans and animals. By analyzing different types of tumors from almost 500 pet ...
