Scientists have discovered a new autoimmune disease that is specifically triggered by testicular cancer. Utilizing a newly developed diagnostic tool, the research revealed how the cancer can cause the immune system to target the brain, bringi… Continue reading Discovery of new autoimmune disease triggered by testicular cancer
The ways in which the communities of bacteria living within our bodies influence our overall well-being are becoming better understood all the time, and with that better understanding comes potential new ways to intervene for better health outcomes. Adding to this is a new discovery by researchers in Melbourne, who have described how a healthy microbiome can boost the activity of killer immune cells that are vital to fighting off infections and cancer.

Scientists are exploring all kinds of ways to improve cancer treatments, with some methods more tried-and-true and others at the experimental end of the spectrum. Using magnetism to heat up nanoparticles inside a tumor to destroy nearby cance… Continue reading Clusters of magnetic nanoparticles kill cancer with heat
There’s no shortage of techniques to kill cancer, such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy, but the really tricky part is doing so without harming the rest of the body. Cytokines are small proteins that could play a part in immunotherapy, but th… Continue reading Velcro-like proteins keep cancer drugs inside the cancer
Over 30 years ago, a molecule with incredible anti-cancer properties was discovered in sea sponges. However, it was so structurally complex scientists have been unable to synthesize it in large enough quantities to be able to test it in human… Continue reading "Unprecedented achievement” enables clinical trials of promising anti-cancer molecule
A team from the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) has developed a non-invasive tool which not only detects circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in the bloodstream, but can blast them away at the same time. Dubbed the Cytophone, it … Continue reading Cytophone detects and blasts circulating cancer cells
New research from the University of Virginia is suggesting an unhealthy gut microbiome can actively promote the spread of breast cancer. Through a series of animal experiments the new study demonstrated how disruptions to gut bacterial popula… Continue reading Study suggests gut microbiome disruptions speed up metastatic spread of breast cancer
Radiotherapy is an effective method for killing cancer, but the downside is that it harms healthy cells at the same time, sometimes leading to complications. Now researchers from CNIO in Spain have found that boosting levels of a certain prot… Continue reading Boosting a radiation-protecting protein could help cancer patients and astronauts
As promising as some treatments are in lab tests, unfortunately they don’t always meet hopes when translated to the real world. Now, scientists at Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research have investigated a class of cancer drugs that fail… Continue reading Scientists discover why a promising cancer drug failed in clinical trials – and how to fix it
The success could offer new hope for young men facing infertility due to childhood cancer. Continue reading Healthy Monkey Born From Frozen Testicular Tissue
