This “chaos enzyme” may hold the key to stopping cancer spread
Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is one of the most aggressive and hardest forms of breast cancer to treat, but a new study led by Weill Cornell Medicine suggests a…
Cells “vomit” waste in a hidden healing shortcut that could also fuel cancer
When injured, cells have well-regulated responses to promote healing. These include a long-studied self-destruction process that cleans up dead and damaged cells as well as a more recently identified phenomenon…
A new cancer vaccine just wiped out tumors in mice
An experimental mRNA vaccine boosted the tumor-fighting effects of immunotherapy in a mouse-model study, bringing researchers one step closer to their goal of developing a universal vaccine to “wake up”…
How Designing Supercars Helped Gordon Murray Through Cancer
Gordon Murray can’t stop working. As he approaches 80 years old, Murray is still developing new supercars, and not even a cancer diagnosis took him away from the drafting table.…
The 30-minute workout that could slash cancer cell growth by 30%
A single bout of either resistance or high intensity interval training could help in the cancer battle, new research from Edith Cowan University (ECU) has found. ECU PhD student Mr…
Breakthrough lung cancer treatment supercharges immune cells with mitochondria
While chemotherapy remains a cornerstone of lung cancer treatment, it often weakens the immune system it relies on for long-term control. Now, researchers have found a way to turn this…
Reversing Alzheimer’s damage: Two cancer drugs demonstrate surprising power
Scientists at UC San Francisco and Gladstone Institutes have identified cancer drugs that promise to reverse the changes that occur in the brain during Alzheimer’s, potentially slowing or even reversing…
This sugar substitute does more than sweeten — it kills cancer cells
Stevia may provide more benefits than as a zero-calorie sugar substitute. When fermented with bacteria isolated from banana leaves, stevia extract kills off pancreatic cancer cells but doesn’t harm healthy…
In seconds, AI builds proteins to battle cancer and antibiotic resistance
In the last year, there has been a surge in proteins developed by AI that will eventually be used in the treatment of everything from snakebites to cancer. What would…
The fatal mutation that lets cancer outsmart the human immune system
New research from UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center has uncovered an evolutionary change that may explain why certain immune cells in humans are less effective at fighting solid tumors compared…
