Scientists have developed a new type of cancer vaccine that shows promise in clearing out leukemia in mice. The technique involves reprogramming cancer cells into immune cells so that they can teach the immune system how to fight off the disease.Contin… Continue reading Experimental vaccine reprograms cancer to launch immunotherapy attack
The top two causes of death worldwide are cardiovascular disease and cancer. Both conditions are associated with well-known risk factors, including low levels of physical activity. A large, new meta-analysis has examined the link between physical activ… Continue reading Just 75 mins of physical activity a week reduces risk of early death
It’s one of the most exciting areas of cancer research, but identifying the tumors through blood tests remains difficult, particularly for early-stage detection.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Cancer, Metastasis, Biotechnology, Tumors, … Continue reading This device can easily, cheaply detect cancer cells in a blood sample
Ovarian cancer is a highly fatal type of cancer that can be caused by several genetic factors. A recent study examined whether the protection provided by taking aspirin frequently, which has been shown to reduce ovarian cancer risk, was affected by a g… Continue reading Aspirin reduces ovarian cancer risk regardless of genetic predisposition
Linking exercise with improved mental health outcomes is certainly not a new concept, with previous individual studies looking at the effects of physical activity on schizophrenia, anxiety and depression, as well as analysis of the duration and type of… Continue reading Exercise could be the first line of attack in mental health treatment
A new study has revealed the case for more extensive gene mapping in disease research, with whole genome sequencing offering an unprecedented look at the makeup and behavior of Hodgkin lymphoma that could lead to better understanding of this and other … Continue reading Whole gene sequencing breakthrough promises cancer insights
Leukemia is the most common type of cancer in children and adolescents. Little is known about how the disease is caused, but previous studies have indicated a link between leukemia and maternal infections. A new study of Danish children has shed more l… Continue reading New study reinforces link between maternal infection and leukemia in kids
Light-activated antibody therapy could pave the way for new acutely targeted treatment of cancer cells. Scientists at the University of East Anglia in the UK have successfully engineered antibody fragments that are activated by a specific UV light wave… Continue reading Light therapy could ease side effects for cancer sufferers
Filling tumors with oxygen makes them more susceptible to treatment. In seeking a path to deliver more oxygen to tumors, researchers turned to an unlikely source of inspiration: foam used in cooking, like the whipped cream that baristas use to top hot … Continue reading Pop Rocks and molecular gastronomy inspire new tumor-fighting foam
A study looking at the health records of nearly 200,000 people in the United Kingdom has found a link between cancer and the consumption of ultra-processed foods. The researchers call for health warnings to be added to these foods but other experts sug… Continue reading Researchers call for health warning labels on ultra-processed foods
