Iron is an essential micronutrient, but excess iron can damage cells and increase cancer risk. While many cells die from iron-induced oxidative stress, a subset survives and may become cancerous.

A counterintuitive discovery published today is reshaping how scientists think about one of cancer's most common genomic events: when a cell accidentally duplicates its entire DNA supply and fails to ...
