Researchers discover artificial DNA to locate, eliminate cancer cells
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
Researchers have developed a brand-new method for locating and eliminating cancer cells by using synthetic DNA. The procedure was successful in lab tests against cells generated from human cervical cancer, human breast cancer, and mouse malignant melanoma.

Research: Enzyme that protects against viruses could fuel cancer evolution
Updated : 3 years, 2 months 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

Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
Anthracyclines are a class of chemotherapies effective in treating many forms of cancer, including leukemias, lymphomas and breast cancer. Anthracyclines -- such as doxorubicin, frequently used against breast cancer -- kill cancer cells by damaging their DNA.

Study finds cells that helps to treat resistance in prostate cancer
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
Researchers have described prostate cancer cell dynamics at a single-cell resolution across the whole course of the disease, from the first stages to the point of androgen independence, where the tumour stops responding to hormone restriction therapy.

Researchers unravel population of 'cheating' cells in cancers
Updated : 3 years, 2 months 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.

Study finds imaging agent helps to remove lung cancer tumors
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
Surgery requires a variety of instruments and methods, as well as the skill of the surgeon, especially when removing cancerous tumours. Surgery to remove lung cancer tumours will now be a little bit more precise thanks to the new imaging agent Cytalux.

Cancer researchers discover a population of 'cheating' cells
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
Researchers from UConn Health, Yale, and Johns Hopkins discovered that some cancer cells can "cheat" by evading the limits imposed by a lack of oxygen, allowing the cancer cells to grow.

Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
From the onset of the disease through the point of androgen independence, where the tumour no longer responds to hormone restriction therapy, researchers have described prostate cancer cell dynamics at a single-cell resolution over the course of the disease.

Researchers discover mechanism that allows cancer cells to spread
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
A novel mechanism that allows cancer cells to spread throughout the body has been discovered by an international team of researchers, offering a potential new target to halt metastasis, which is to blame for 90 per cent of cancer deaths.

Simultaneous radiation, immunotherapy beneficial for subset of lung cancer
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
In many cancer types, cancer cells try to survive by escaping attack from the immune system. These cancer cells hijack mechanisms called immune checkpoints to trick the immune system into thinking they are healthy cells. Recent advances in cancer treatment have focused on developing immune c

Cancer fighting nanoparticles deliver a chemotherapy drug, immunotherapy:
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
Researchers found and developed nanoparticles that simultaneously carry chemotherapy and a new immunotherapy. Chemotherapy is a pillar of cancer treatment, but residual cancer cells can persist and cause tumor relapse.

Study: CAR T cell therapy reaches beyond cancer
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
Engineered immune cells, known as CAR T cells, have shown the world what personalized immunotherapies can do to fight blood cancers. Now, investigators have reported highly promising early results for CAR T therapy in a small set of patients with the autoimmune disease lupus. Penn Medicine C
