The death of a loved one following a cancer battle can trigger prolonged grief that can seemingly cause life to come to a standstill. It can also be difficult to treat with traditional medication and therapy, leaving the griever ‘stuck’ in this stage f… Continue reading Landmark trial to treat grief from cancer loss with psychedelics
Scientists have discovered a previously unknown type of immune cell that develops in people who successfully fight off cancer. Unlike other killer T cells, these home in on multiple cancer-associated targets at once, preventing new tumors forming for u… Continue reading Super killer T-cells discovered in patients who beat cancer
Most people with breast and other cancers die not from the primary tumor but from metastasis, when the cancer spreads throughout the body. Researchers have developed a compound that blocks the actions of a metastasis-causing protein, potentially reduci… Continue reading Novel compound stalls the spread of breast cancer
Scientists have discovered that a common natural sugar could play a role in boosting cancer treatments like chemotherapy. Mannose was found to be able to invoke “honeybee syndrome” in cancer cells to slow their growth and make them more vulnerable to a… Continue reading Natural sugar induces “honeybee syndrome” in cancer to boost chemotherapy
As forecast in June, the cancer-research arm of the World Health Organization (WHO) has officially named the non-sugar sweetener aspartame as possibly carcinogenic to humans.Continue ReadingCategory: ScienceTags: World Health Organization, FDA, Cancer,… Continue reading Despite alarm, sweetener still deemed safer than bacon and red meat
From penicillin to rapamycin, the route to discovering remarkable medicines has often been a fortuitous one. Now, researchers are hoping that another surprise find, once again linked to bacteria, can be harnessed for its medical potential and even be u… Continue reading Caterpillar toxin could ‘punch holes’ in cancer cells for future therapies
Researchers have successfully mapped the dog epigenome, opening the door to an improved understanding of how environmental factors influence their genetic expression, as well as ours.Continue ReadingCategory: Biology, ScienceTags: Epigenetics, Genome, … Continue reading Researchers map dog epigenome for the first time
Yale scientists have discovered a new potential treatment avenue to fight cancer. Using CRISPR gene-editing, the team eliminated extra chromosomes from cancer cells and found that they could no longer grow out of control.Continue ReadingCategory: Medic… Continue reading Cancer breakthrough uses CRISPR to target extra chromosomes
New research has discovered that a fundamental nutrient found in cells is key to maintaining the body’s cancer-destroying immune response. The discovery may lead to more effective ways of treating the disease.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceT… Continue reading Upping levels of key nutrient maintains immune cell response to cancer
Scientists have developed and tested a new potential treatment for cancer that works in a similar way to the COVID-19 vaccines. The technique involves delivering mRNA molecules to cancer cells and tricking them into producing toxic proteins that kill t… Continue reading mRNA Trojan Horse tricks cancer into making toxins to kill itself
