Tumor cells often hijack normal physiological processes to support their growth, exploiting proteins that are in charge of essential cell functions. It is therefore important to block the activity of these proteins only in cancer cells without affecting their crucial roles in healthy tissues. For

New research out of VCU Massey Comprehensive Cancer Center — recently published in Drug Resistance Updates — revealed a previously unknown biological process through which breast tumor cells develop resistance to standard treatment, which could open the door for cancer scientists around the world to

The European QUSTom project, which under the coordination of the Barcelona Supercomputing Center – Centro Nacional de Supercomputación (BSC-CNS) aims to introduce a new medical imaging modality based on 3D tomographic ultrasound and supercomputing, has begun clinical validation with patients for the early detection of

The review discusses how metabolic cell death, distinct from traditional forms of regulated cell death like apoptosis, arises from imbalances in cellular metabolism due to nutrient and metal overload or depletion. It emphasizes the therapeutic potential of targeting these unique metabolic vulnerabilities in cancer cells,

SAN FRANCISCO—May 29, 2024—Healthy T cells are the foundation of a balanced immune system. They can spring into action to fight off infections or cancer, but keep from become so activated that they hurt the very cells they’re meant to protect, as is the case

Research led by Weill Cornell Medicine provides new evidence that most colorectal cancers begin with the loss of intestinal stem cells, even before cancer-causing genetic alterations appear. The results, published on May 29 in Developmental Cell, overturn the prevailing theory for colorectal tumor initiation and

A new method of drug delivery using proline, an amino acid found in chicken feathers and skin tissue, could be used to limit the side effects of chemotherapy and repair important enzymes, new research suggests. Credit: Dr Charlie McTernan, King’s College London and the Francis

From ancient texts we know that – for their times – the ancient Egyptians were exceptionally skilled at medicine. For example, they could identify, describe, and treat diseases and traumatic injuries, build protheses, and put in dental fillings. Other conditions, like cancer, they couldn’t treat
