The proteins that belong to the HAT family are essential for life as they transport amino acids across the cell membrane. Although the members of…
Significant decreases in CT imaging for cancer persisted even after the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, delaying diagnosis and treatment and raising the…
The method could be a route to quicker, less invasive cancer diagnoses. As an organism grows, the feel of it changes too. In the initial…
MIT biologists show that helper immune cells disguised as cancer cells can help rejuvenate T cells that attack tumors. Under the right circumstances, the body’s…
With the power of nanotechnology, investigators have discovered that cancer cells strengthen by forming nanotubes that they use to suck mitochondria out of immune cells….
Younger women found to face higher risk. The risk of early breast cancer spreading to another part of the body ranges from 6% to 22%,…
The study, published in the journal Nature and part-funded by the UK charity Worldwide Cancer Research, uncovers how palmitic acid alters the cancer genome, increasing the likelihood…
RNA molecule suppresses prostate tumor growth. Many patients with prostate cancer are treated with drugs that lower or block hormones that fuel tumor growth. While…
Researchers decipher when and why immune cells fail to respond to immunotherapy, suggesting that T cells need a different kind of prodding to re-engage the…
An international team of researchers have identified a new method for clearing senescent cells, which could transform treatments for aging and related conditions. Health scientists…
Cleveland Clinic study links gut microbiome and aggressive prostate cancer. Cleveland Clinic researchers have shown for the first time that diet-associated molecules in the gut…
A new study finds cutting off cells’ supplies of lipids can slow the growth of tumors in mice. In recent years, there has been some…
By combining chemotherapy, tumor injury, and immunotherapy, researchers show that the immune system can be re-engaged to destroy tumors in mice. Immunotherapy is a promising…
MIT engineers devised a way to count elusive circulating tumor cells in mice, allowing them to study the dynamics of metastasis. As tumors grow within…
Scientists studying the most common and aggressive type of brain tumor in adults have discovered a new way of analyzing diseased and healthy cells from…
May be worth further exploring cannabinoids as potential cancer treatment, say researchers. It may be worth exploring further the use of cannabidiol (‘CBD’) oil as…
Scientists discover how T cell assassins reload their weapons to kill and kill again. Cambridge researchers have discovered how T cells – an important component…
A new study shows a link between patient survival and changes in tumor cell mass after glioblastoma treatment. Researchers at MIT and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute…
