Scientists make breakthrough for 'next generation' cancer treatment
Updated : 1 month ago IST
Scientists at the University of East Anglia are a step closer to creating a new generation of light-activated cancer treatments. The procedure, which sounds futuristic, would function by turning on embedded LED lights adjacent to a tumour, which would then activate biotherapeutic chemicals.

SPOP protein contributes to cancer: Research
Updated : 2 months ago IST
SPOP is the most mutated protein in prostate cancer and plays a role in endometrial, uterine and other cancers. Despite this importance, how SPOP mutations drive cancer has been incompletely understood. Scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital used cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-E

Study uses cancer cells as logic gates to find out what makes them move
Updated : 2 months ago IST
Cancer cells migrate through the body for a variety of reasons; some simply follow the flow of a fluid, while others actively follow chemical trails. So, how do you figure out which cells are shifting and why? Researchers at Purdue University reverse-engineered a cellular signal processing s

Research: Enzyme that protects against viruses could fuel cancer evolution
Updated : 2 months, 3 weeks ago IST
An enzyme that defends human cells against viruses can help drive cancer evolution towards greater malignancy by causing myriad mutations in cancer cells, according to a study led by investigators at Weill Cornell Medicine. The finding suggests that the enzyme may be a potential target for f

Scientists unlock cancer's ancestry
Updated : 2 months, 3 weeks ago IST
Could knowing where your ancestors came from be the key to better cancer treatments? Maybe, but where would that key fit? How can we trace cancer's ancestral roots to modern-day solutions? For Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) Research Professor Alexander Krasnitz, the answers may lie dee

Concentration of surgery improves operations for childhood cancer: Researc
Updated : 3 months ago IST
Neuroblastoma is a tumour of the sympathetic nervous system that occurs mainly in young children. Every year, 25 children in the Netherlands receive this diagnosis. Surgery to remove the tumour tissue forms an important part of the treatment plan. Since November 2014, care for children in th

Researchers unravel population of 'cheating' cells in cancers
Updated : 3 months, 1 week ago IST
Researchers at UConn Health, Yale, and Johns Hopkins have identified that some cancer cells can "cheat" by escaping constraints imposed by lack of oxygen, allowing the cancer cells to continue to grow.
