Even one drink a day may raise mouth cancer risk
A large comparative study published online in the open access journal BMJ Global Health has found that even low daily alcohol consumption is linked to a much higher risk of…
These nanoparticles kill cancer cells while sparing healthy ones
Researchers led by RMIT University have developed extremely small particles called nanodots that can destroy cancer cells while largely leaving healthy cells unharmed. The particles are made from a metal-based…
MIT scientists strip cancer of its sugar shield
A research team from MIT and Stanford University has developed a new technique designed to push the immune system to go after tumor cells. The strategy is aimed at helping…
AI detects cancer but it’s also reading who you are
A new study shows that artificial intelligence systems used to diagnose cancer from pathology slides do not perform equally for all patients, with accuracy varying across different demographic groups. Researchers…
Scientists uncover the hidden survival trick that lets cancer bounce back
Cancer drug resistance remains one of the biggest challenges in cancer treatment, and doctors urgently need better ways to prevent it. Yet scientists still do not fully understand the molecular…
Simple supplement mix shows remarkable results in brain cancer
Most cancer treatments, including chemotherapy, radiotherapy and immunotherapy, are designed to attack and destroy cancer cells. A growing group of researchers is now asking whether this long-standing approach may be…
Next gen cancer drug shows surprising anti aging power
Researchers at Queen Mary University of London’s School of Biological and Behavioural Sciences have demonstrated that the experimental TOR inhibitor rapalink-1 can extend the chronological lifespan of fission yeast, a…
CRISPR unlocks a new way to defeat resistant lung cancer
Researchers at ChristianaCare’s Gene Editing Institute have demonstrated that turning off the NRF2 gene with CRISPR technology can make lung cancer cells responsive to chemotherapy again. By blocking this gene,…
Smart drug strikes a hidden RNA weak point in cancer cells
Researchers have designed a new class of drug molecule capable of specifically destroying TERRA, an RNA molecule that some cancer cells rely on to survive. Using a technique known as…
Tiny implant wipes out bladder cancer in 82% of patients
A new targeted drug delivery system called TAR-200 has shown remarkable results in a phase 2 clinical trial, eliminating tumors in 82% of patients with high-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer that…
