Collaborate Disseminate
By using machine learning and cutting-edge microscopes, scientists have uncovered what they believe to be a new form of communication between cancer cells. Described as a “type of electrical language,” the discovery may be key to the way cells within t… Continue reading “Electrical language” of cancer cells may spill secrets of tumor growth
In a new study described by one oncologist as “seminal” and “pioneering”, researchers in the United States have successfully used CRISPR gene-editing technology to create personalized cancer-targeting immune cells. In a Phase 1 trial the researchers te… Continue reading “Seminal” study gene edits immune cells to target cancer
A new paper in the journal JAMA Oncology has reported the results of a decade-long Phase 1 human trial testing an experimental breast cancer vaccine. The novel treatment was found to be “very safe” and a larger Phase 2 trial is now underway testing eff… Continue reading Experimental breast cancer vaccine passes first human trials
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, so they say. Scientists have now demonstrated a new potential cancer vaccine that involves injections of dormant tumor cells to stimulate the immune system and help prevent the onset of cancer.Continue R… Continue reading Cancer vaccine using “zombie” cells shows promise in mouse tests
Some exercise is always going to be better than none when it comes to our health, but studies continues to drive home the value in undertaking even the shortest spurts of physical activity. Newly published research in this area has demonstrated how a s… Continue reading Quick two-minute bursts of intense exercise may help us live longer
Scientists looking to harness the cancer-fighting capabilities of bacteria have made an impressive advance, demonstrating how magnetic forms of the microorganisms can be propelled into tumors. This in itself is a promising breakthrough, but through adv… Continue reading Magnetic bacteria steered into tumors to plant anti-cancer drugs
Preliminary results from an ongoing Phase 1/2 human trial indicate a new drug dubbed OMO-103 can safely and effectively inhibit the function of a gene known to drive the growth of many common forms of cancer.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTa… Continue reading Successful trial results of drug to inhibit common-cancer-causing gene
Engineers at Duke University have developed a novel delivery system for cancer treatment and demonstrated its potential against one of the disease’s most troublesome forms. In newly published research in mice with pancreatic cancer, the scientists show… Continue reading Radioactive implant wipes tumors in unprecedented pre-clinical success
Researchers at Yale and the University of Rhode Island (URI) have demonstrated a new technique to fight cancer by attaching immunotherapy drugs to a molecule that seeks out the acidic environment of cancer cells. In tests in mice, a single dose was eno… Continue reading Homing missile molecule eradicates even advanced cancers in mice
Brain cancer is one of the most insidious forms of the disease, but researchers at Stanford have now developed a wireless device that could help improve survival times. When implanted between the skin and skull, the remotely activated device heats up g… Continue reading Infrared implant between skin and skull helps kill brain cancer
