As areas of uncontrolled cell growth, cancerous growth form a major problem for a multi-celled organism like us humans. Thus before they can begin to affect our long-term prospects of …read more Continue reading The use of Ultrasound to take on Cancerous Tumors
You are probably familiar with initiatives like Seti@Home, where you donate unused computer power to some science project that needs computer cycles. [Jeff Yoshimi] wants to borrow your most powerful …read more Continue reading Citizen Science is All Fun and Games
With immunotherapy increasingly making it out of the lab and into hospitals as a viable way to treat serious conditions like cancer, there’s a lot of pressure to optimize these …read more Continue reading In Vivo CAR T Cell Generation for Cancer and Auto-Immune Treatments
New research has linked higher plasma levels of the healthy fats omega-3 and omega-6 to a reduced risk of developing particular types of cancer. The study adds to the on-again/off-again relationship that exists between scientists and the common supplem… Continue reading Omega-3 and omega-6 supplements reduce risk of 19 types of cancer
Scientists have demonstrated a creative new way to kill cancer cells effectively, with few side effects. Gluing two particular proteins together tricks the tumors into destroying themselves.Continue ReadingCategory: Cancer, Illnesses and conditions, Bo… Continue reading Gluing proteins together kills cancer super selectively
Researchers have developed a nanoscale sensor that detects lung cancer simply by analyzing the levels of a chemical called isoprene in your breath. The team believes its breakthrough could unlock a non-invasive, low-cost method to catch the disease ear… Continue reading Advanced sensing tech can detect lung cancer in your exhaled breath
The future of cancer treatment just got a whole lot brighter. Researchers have created digital twins of patients and used them as virtual guinea pigs, testing out different drugs to predict which one would be most effective against the type of cancer t… Continue reading Your ‘digital twin’ could pinpoint most effective cancer treatment
We’ve all heard stories of the dangers of 3D printing, with fires from runaway hot ends or dodgy heated build plates being the main hazards. But what about the particulates? …read more Continue reading New Study Looks at the Potential Carcinogenicity of 3D Printing
Taking a pill is the easiest, least invasive way to take medicine, but unfortunately, not all drugs work that way. Now, Stanford scientists have found “an embarrassingly simple solution” that could make almost any drug molecule effective in oral pill f… Continue reading “Embarrassingly simple” tag puts IV chemotherapy drugs in pill form
T cells are our first line of defense against cancer, but the battle tends to exhaust them. Now, scientists have found a way to give them extra “batteries” to keep them fighting longer, with promising early results in mice.Continue ReadingCategory: Can… Continue reading Giving T cells extra batteries supercharges them against cancer
