Study: Therapeutic drug can render cancer cells
Updated : 3 years, 6 months ago IST
Bonn [Germany], August 26 (ANI): The immune system is suppressed by the protective scent that many tumour cells spray themselves with. However, it appears that a medicine that has already been approved for other uses can render this weapon harmless. A study from the University of Bonn and th

Research: Fibroblasts connected to cancer increase drug sensitivity
Updated : 3 years, 6 months ago IST
Washington [US], August 21 (ANI): Despite some studies suggesting that these fibroblasts may also make cancer cells more sensitive to therapy, cancer-associated fibroblasts in the tumour environment have typically been linked to tumour progression and resistance to therapy.

Researchers reveal that deformation mechanics may be key in cancer fight
Updated : 3 years, 6 months ago IST
Washington [US], August 19 (ANI): A team has uncovered surprising mechanical behaviors of the nucleus. For years, the nucleus within a cell was thought to be elastic like a rubber ball, deforming and snapping back into shape as the cell navigated through pores and between fibers inside the h

Researchers find cancer-related fibroblasts induce drug sensitivity
Updated : 3 years, 6 months ago IST
Washington [US], August 17 (ANI): Cancer-associated fibroblasts in the tumour environment have typically been associated with tumour progression and resistance to therapy, despite some studies suggesting that these fibroblasts may also sensitize cancer cells to therapy.

Research reveals glioma drug exploits DNA repair defects to selectively ta
Updated : 3 years, 7 months ago IST
Washington [US], July 28 (ANI): A new class of glioma medications takes advantage of tumours lacking the DNA repair enzyme MGMT; the medications cause the generation of cytotoxic DNA and kill tumour cells specifically without the risk of developing resistance, according to research.

Research: How various cancer cells react to drug-delivery nanoparticles
Updated : 3 years, 7 months ago IST
Boston [US], July 22 (ANI): Using nanoparticles to deliver cancer drugs allows for high drug concentrations to be delivered to tumours while avoiding the harmful side effects associated with chemotherapy. However, only a few nanoparticle-based cancer drugs have received FDA approval.

Research finds new way in cancer progression, providing possibility for ca
Updated : 3 years, 7 months ago IST
Connexis [Singapore], July 20 (ANI): Research discovered a critical cancer progression mechanism that is observed in 90 per cent of cancer cells. The subsequent development of cancer-specific medications with perhaps fewer side effects will be guided by this research.
