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…
A team of researchers at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine reveals the first compound that directly makes cancer cells commit suicide while sparing healthy…
More than 20 years after scientists revealed that mutations in the BRCA1 gene predispose women to breast cancer, Yale scientists have pinpointed the molecular mechanism…
New research from MIT shows that mutations in the KEAP1 gene could point the way to treating an aggressive form of lung cancer that is…
By cutting off a process that cancerous cells rely, researchers from MIT have identified a possible new strategy for halting brain tumors. MIT biologists have…
New research shows that the bacterium sends stem cell renewal in the stomach into overdrive – and stem cell turnover has been suspected by many…
