St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital oncologists have discovered the cell type that gives rise to rhabdomyosarcoma, the most prevalent soft tissue cancer in children. Previously,…
Researchers of the Molecular Signaling in Cancer group of the Oncobell program (Bellvitge Biomedical Research Institute – IDIBELL) – proCURE Program (Catalan Institute of Oncology…
Attempts to eradicate cancer are often compared to a “moonshot” — the successful effort that sent the first astronauts to the moon. But imagine if,…
A new Tel Aviv University study pinpoints the inverse correlation between a known oncogene — a gene that promotes the development of cancer — and…
As e-cigarettes become more popular, fewer people are taking up smoking traditional cigarettes. But can e-cigarettes, an electronic nicotine delivery system, help people quit smoking…
MicroRNA extraction using nanowires. After introducing a urine sample onto the device, extracellular vesicles are captured by a nanowire substrate via electrostatic forces. MicroRNAs can…
A sugar called Neu5Gc, present in red meat, some fish and dairy products, is related to the appearance of spontaneous tumors in humans. Researchers at…
Understanding how cancer cells are able to metastasize — migrate from the primary tumor to distant sites in the body — and developing therapies to…
Researchers at the University of São Paulo have identified genes associated with melanoma progression using a synthetic compound similar to curcumin. When researchers at the…
Doctors have many drugs available to treat multiple myeloma, a type of blood cancer. However, there is no way to predict, by genetic markers or…
Cancer immunotherapy drugs have had notable but limited success because in many cases, tumors develop resistance to treatment. But researchers at Yale and Stanford have…
A new study from Cardiff University reveals a unique approach to targeting the abnormal T-cells that cause T-cell lymphomas and could offer hope to patients…
Two new research papers from Yale University reinforce the benefits of a novel therapy that hijacks the cell’s own protein degradation machinery to destroy cancer…
In a newly published study, scientists detail how they can manipulate the rhythm of DNA replication and suggest how this can be used in the…
In a newly published study, researchers pinpoint a way to restrict the ability of cancer to use glucose for energy. Cancer cells consume exorbitant amounts…
A team of scientists at the Broad Institute, the Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, and Massachusetts General Hospital have developed a…
MIT researchers have developed a synthetic gene circuit that triggers the body’s immune system to attack cancers when it detects signs of the disease. The…
Researchers from Yale University have made a fundamental discovery about EGFR signaling that may open the potential for new types of cancer drugs. Many approved…
