Investigators Use X-rays, Crystals to Understand the Mechanisms of CancerRoughly 50 years ago, James Watson and Francis Crick used data obtained through a process called x-ray diffraction to calculate the double-helix structure of DNA. Today, Memorial Sloan-Kettering researchers are employing a more sophisticated version of this same tool to unlock the secrets of cancer.http://www.mskcc.org/mskcc/html/14318.cfm

New Imaging Method Allows Tracking of T Cells to Tumors In MiceIn an effort to help doctors evaluate the effectiveness of immunotherapies, Memorial Sloan-Kettering researchers developed a new method of tracking transplanted T cells' migration, survival, and function in the body. http://www.mskcc.org/mskcc/html/14316.cfm
