Drug compound makes pancreatic cancer cells more vulnerable to chemo
Updated : 4 years, 3 months ago IST
Washington [US], December 2 (ANI): Pancreatic cancer is extremely difficult to treat. By the time it is detected, cancer often has reached an advanced stage, and patients usually do not survive longer than one year after diagnosis. An aggressive chemotherapy regimen is a first-line treatment

Cancer cells use 'tiny tentacles' to suppress immune system: Research
Updated : 4 years, 3 months ago IST
Boston (Massachusetts) [US], November 20 (ANI): By using nanotechnology, it has been found that cancer can disarm its would-be cellular attackers by extending out nanoscale tentacles that can reach into an immune cell and pull out its powerpack.

New study reveals how cancer killing cells can be activated
Updated : 4 years, 3 months ago IST
Massachusetts (US), November 20 (ANI): If the circumstances are right, the body's T cells are supposed to detect and kill the cancer cells. However, it has been seen that in most cancer patients the T cells become incapable of doing so once they are in the environment surrounding the tumour.

Study finds cancer cells use 'tiny tentacles' to suppress immune system
Updated : 4 years, 3 months ago IST
Boston (Massachusetts) [US], November 18 (ANI): Investigators from Brigham and Women's Hospital and MIT used the power of nanotechnology to discover a new way that cancer can disarm its would-be cellular attackers by extending out nanoscale tentacles that can reach into an immune cell and pu

Study: Spread of cancer gets constrained by high cell membrane tension
Updated : 4 years, 4 months ago IST
Washington [US], November 14 (ANI): A recent research collaboration has discovered that cancer invasion and migration can be suppressed in mice by manipulating the stiffness of the cell membrane. The membranes of cancer cells are more pliant than the membranes of normal cells.

Chemotherapy enhances breast cancer's spread beyond primary tumour: Study
Updated : 4 years, 4 months ago IST
Washington [US], November 6 (ANI): As per a new study, further evidence has been provided suggesting that chemotherapy enhances cancer's spread beyond the primary tumour, which further shows how one chemo drug allows breast cancer cells to squeeze through and attach to blood vessel linings i

Study finds chemo helps breast cancer cells get into lungs
Updated : 4 years, 4 months ago IST
Washington [US], November 3 (ANI): A new study has added to the evidence that chemotherapy enhances cancer's spread beyond the primary tumour, showing how one chemo drug allows breast cancer cells to squeeze through and attach to blood vessel linings in the lungs.

Tumour reasons why cancers thrive in chromosomal chaos
Updated : 4 years, 4 months ago IST
Washington [US], October 26 (ANI): Researchers at the University of California San Diego School of Medicine and Moores Cancer Center at UC San Diego Health describe how a pair of fundamental genetic and cellular processes are exploited by cancer cells to promote tumour survival and growth.
