Researchers have identified the gene responsible for setting off a cellular chain reaction that causes prostate cancer to metastasize to the bone, making it almost impossible to treat. The discovery could have significant implications for treating pros… Continue reading Genetic ringleader responsible for prostate cancer spread identified
Researchers have found that a now-discontinued drug used to treat the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease may be effective at treating metastatic breast cancer and the brain metastases that can often result. The repurposed drug has the potential to be a no… Continue reading Repurposed Parkinson’s drug found to be effective against brain cancer
Researchers have discovered how a metabolite involved in repairing damaged DNA not only controls a person’s sensitivity to cancer therapies but can also protect healthy tissues from damage. The findings may lead to more effective treatments for cancer…. Continue reading DNA-repairing metabolite may lead to improved cancer treatments
There are a lot of research eyes on the development of Polo-like kinase 1 (PLK1) inhibitors for cancer treatment right now, with several drugs currently in clinical trials and at least one in late-stage Phase III testing. But University of Cambridge sc… Continue reading Promising cancer drug may effectively treat gout and heart disease
Researchers have developed a quick, cheap, and highly sensitive blood test to detect a telltale protein produced by cancer cells. The test can pick up a range of cancers before symptoms appear and could be key to early diagnosis of the disease.Continue… Continue reading New quick, cheap blood test may detect cancer before symptoms appear
Researchers have uncovered the mechanism by which a protein facilitates the spread of breast cancer cells from the primary tumor into healthy tissue. The discovery not only improves our understanding of the metastatic process but is the first step to d… Continue reading Protein discovery could be used to stop breast cancer in its tracks
Researchers have, for the first time, observed a mechanism used by cancer cells to resist the effects of chemotherapy. The findings could be used to develop targeted drugs to help override it and make chemotherapy more effective.Continue ReadingCategor… Continue reading First look at a mechanism cancer cells use to resist chemotherapy
With more than 1,000 different bacterial species, the gut microbiome is now thought of by many researchers to be the key to unlocking disease-fighting superpowers. It’s already been linked to cancer, diabetes, multiple sclerosis and even memory and per… Continue reading Study takes a major step towards disease-fighting microbiome therapies
Exploring the genetic factors that make golden retrievers more susceptible to cancer than other dog breeds, researchers identified a gene associated with longevity that’s related to a gene that causes cancer cells to grow quickly in humans. The discove… Continue reading Longevity gene in golden retrievers related to human cancer gene
Vaccines against cancer are somewhat of a holy grail for medicine – but what if you could repurpose a vaccine you’ve already had? Scientists have demonstrated in mice a way to trick the immune system into attacking tumors by mistaking them for a pathog… Continue reading Bacteria-based cancer therapy reactivates vaccines you’ve already had
