Using a popular culinary technique, researchers have created a foam infused with carbon monoxide to boost the effectiveness of autophagy inhibitors, an experimental cancer therapy that until now has produced mixed results in clinical trials. The novel … Continue reading Drinkable carbon monoxide foam may boost cancer treatment
Researchers have developed a peptide that targets a previously ‘undruggable’ protein implicated in more than 75% of human cancers and found that it slowed the proliferation of brain cancer cells in the lab. It’s the first step towards developing an eff… Continue reading “Glob of randomness” linked to 75% of cancers reined in by novel peptide
A new form of immunotherapy helps immune cells “armor” themselves against exhaustion by releasing their own medicine to keep them going in the fight against cancer. In a small ongoing trial, 100% of patients have achieved complete remission, and the ne… Continue reading “Armored” immune cells make their own medicine to keep fighting cancer
Following a trail of evidence that started with a study of fruit flies nearly 25 years ago, researchers have found adding a hyperactive form of the protein Rac2 to macrophages, immune cells that eat pathogens, causes them to cannibalize T cells. The no… Continue reading Cannibalistic cells could provide an edge in future cancer treatments
MIT scientists have developed an easier method for diagnosing lung cancer – breathe in some inhalable nanoparticle sensors, then pee on a stick.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Cancer, Lung cancer, MIT, Test, Diagnosis, Diagnostic device… Continue reading New lung cancer test: Inhale nanoparticles then pee on a stick
The ravages of smoking cigarettes on human health have long been established. Now a new study says that contact with cigarette smoke, even if it’s on your clothes after coming from a smoky environment, can damage your dog’s health as well.Continue Read… Continue reading Study: Cigarette smoke, even on clothes, can cause cancer in dogs too
Researchers have made a breakthrough in cancer treatment by harnessing the disease-destroying abilities of the body’s natural killer cells. Their novel nanodrones selectively target a tumor, enabling the killer cells to do what they do best: Suppress c… Continue reading Nanodrones harness natural-born killers to target and destroy cancer
Moderna has announced the results of a Phase 2b trial investigating its mRNA treatment for skin cancer, and it continues a streak of promising news. When paired with an immunotherapy, the treatment significantly reduced the risks of recurrence, metasta… Continue reading mRNA skin cancer therapy halves risk of death in clinical trial
As the second leading cause of death globally, treating – or even better, curing – cancer is understandably high on the list of researchers’ priorities. In 2023, studies focused on the genetics underlying the disease and finding effective ways of treat… Continue reading Exploitation, drug-filled sponges & licorice: 2023’s top cancer stories
Being diagnosed with potentially fatal metastatic breast cancer inspired one man to gather a team of diverse professionals to create an AI-based tool that analyzes a patient’s symptoms using a smartphone, providing oncologists with a means of providing… Continue reading One man’s breast cancer diagnosis inspires groundbreaking treatment tool
