Scientists Discover New Protein Shield That Protects Broken DNA
Researchers from the Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Protein Research have uncovered a new protein shield that aids in repairing damaged DNA in cells and…
New Immunotherapy Agents Stimulate the Immune System to Attack Tumor Cells
Unlike cell-based cancer immunotherapies that manipulate immune cells outside of the body and transferring them into patients, the implantable immuno-material approach activates endogenous immune cells…
Scientists Find New Trigger for Onset of Colon Cancer
Collaborative research has discovered a new function of a colon cancer gene that puts the brakes on several colon cancer activators. This finding may lead…
FDA-Approved Compound Prevents Breast Cancer Cells From Spreading
Researchers at Houston Methodist used computer modeling to find an existing investigational drug compound for leukemia patients to treat triple negative breast cancer once it…
How Helicobacter Pylori Generates An Immune System Blind Spot
The gastric bacterium H. pylori colonizes the stomachs of around half the human population and can lead to the development of gastric cancer. It is…
Study Shows Thirdhand Smoke Increases Lung Cancer Risk
Researchers at the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) identified thirdhand smoke, the toxic residues that linger on indoor surfaces and in…
New Vaccines Eradicate Large Tumors and Tumor Metastases
As cancer cells continuously mutate their DNA, they also produce proteins that are altered from their normal counterparts by small changes in their peptide sequences….
Researchers Develop New Method to Identify Splicing-Based Biomarkers for Liver Cancer
Because liver cancer is particularly diverse, genetically, and prone to relapse, identifying biomarkers that can predict disease progression is a critical goal in the fight…
Researchers Develop New Approach to Personalized Cancer Treatment
Researchers have developed a same-day, noninvasive positron emission tomography (PET)-based imaging approach to assess PD-L1 positive tumors, and the study is presented in the featured…
Newly Developed Technique Predicts Resistance Paths to Cancer Treatment
Yale School of Public Health researchers have developed a new method to predict likely resistance paths to cancer therapeutics, and a methodology to apply it…
Radiation Study Using Human Gut-on-a-Chip Provides Hope for the Future
Chernobyl. Three Mile Island. Fukushima. Accidents at nuclear power plants can potentially cause massive destruction and expose workers and civilians to dangerous levels of radiation…
Biochemists Reveal Secrets of a Little-Known Cancer Ally
Human cancers often have a little recognized ally — the increased size and number of a cell’s organelles called the nucleolus. The nucleolus is where…
New Antibody-Based Treatment Targets Colorectal Cancer
A Yale-led research team has developed an antibody that blocks tumors in animal models of colorectal cancer. If the finding is confirmed in clinical trials,…
Neutron Analysis on Glaucoma Drugs Offers Clues for Cancer Targets
New insights from neutron analysis of glaucoma drugs and their enzyme target may help scientists design drugs that more effectively target aggressive cancers. A team…
Fully Autonomous Cancer-Fighting Nanorobots Seek and Destroy Tumors
In a major advancement in nanomedicine, Arizona State University (ASU) scientists, in collaboration with researchers from the National Center for Nanoscience and Technology (NCNST), of…
Breakthrough Technique Uses Nanoparticles to Combat Cancer Drug Resistance
The ability for cancer cells to develop resistance to chemotherapy drugs – known as multi-drug resistance – remains a leading cause for tumor recurrence and…
Naked Mole Rats Unlock Key Mechanisms of Aging and Cancer Resistance
With their large buck teeth and wrinkled, hairless bodies, naked mole rats won’t be winning any awards for cutest rodent. But their long life span–they…
