Collaborate Disseminate
The first results from an advanced trial testing mRNA technology against cancer reveal 44% of patients fared better than those on conventional treatments alone. The preliminary announcement from Moderna reveals Phase 3 trials for its personalized mRNA … Continue reading Impressive results from “game-changing” mRNA skin cancer vaccine trial
Melanoma is the deadliest form of skin cancer, thanks to its ability to rapidly spread to other organs. Brazilian researchers have now developed a peptide that seems to slow the growth and spread of melanoma, improving the survival rates of test mice.C… Continue reading Promising peptide slows the spread and growth of melanoma in mice
A team of researchers from the Stevens Institute of Technology has demonstrated the effectiveness of a new kind of non-invasive skin cancer detection tool. Preliminary tests have found the technology to be 97 percent effective at detecting cancerous ti… Continue reading New imaging tech promises cheap, handheld skin cancer scanner
The dangers around spending too much time in the sun are well established, and over the years we have seen a number of interesting technological solutions that alert the user when they should make for the shade. Scientists at Northeastern University ha… Continue reading Squid camouflage-inspired sticker can tell when you’ve had too much sun
A new test has been developed to assess the likelihood of an early-stage melanoma either spreading or recurring. The test measures levels of several proteins in a tumor biopsy, helping doctors assess which patients require more frequent follow-ups afte… Continue reading New melanoma test predicts risk of skin cancer spreading
As mRNA innovations race forward researchers are now looking at ways to create skin cancer vaccines using the novel technology. A new study from Oregon State University proposes mRNA-induced production of a specific protein may prevent melanoma, while … Continue reading How mRNA vaccines could transform skin cancer treatment
Researchers at the University of Alberta have developed a new technique for 3D printing cartilage in custom shapes. This can be used to reconstruct the noses of skin cancer patients, saving them the trouble of having cartilage samples taken from other … Continue reading 3D-printed custom cartilage could repair noses after skin cancer
Artificial intelligence is starting to combine with smartphone technology in ways that could have profound impacts on the way we monitor health, from tracking blood volume changes in diabetics to detecting concussions by filming the eyes. Using the tec… Continue reading AI uses “ugly duckling” technique to spot melanoma with high accuracy
Researchers at Yale University have shown how skin cancer could one day be treated with a simple injection. The team found that they could shrink tumors by injecting them with adhesive nanoparticles loaded with chemotherapy drugs.Continue ReadingCatego… Continue reading Injections of drug-loaded sticky nanoparticles could shrink skin cancer
New research published in the journal Nature is outlining the long-term efficacy of a novel type of cancer vaccine. The research followed eight skin cancer patients and discovered the experimental treatment offers durable and persistent immune response… Continue reading Personalized skin cancer vaccine demonstrates long-term effectiveness
