Researchers uncover new pathway for molecular cancer drug therapies
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
A fundamental challenge in drug development is the balance between optimizing a drug's lock-and-key fit with its target and the drug's ability to make its way across the cellular membrane and access that target.

Study finds common mechanism tumours use to suppress immune responses
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
A Ludwig Cancer Research study has revealed a single protein expressed at high levels by cancer cells across a broad range of malignancies that erects a multifaceted barrier to anti-cancer immune responses in mouse models of cancer and so shields tumours from immune detection and destruction

New discovery gives hope to fight metastatic cancer
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
Cancer that splits and develops in new organs around the body becomes significantly more difficult to fight. Now, researchers at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, have shown that these metastatic cancers, that spread from the original, adapt their metabolism to the tissue in which t

Researchers develop promising new cancer therapy
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
Immune checkpoint inhibitors such as Keytruda and Opdivo work by unleashing the immune system's T cells to attack tumour cells. Their introduction a decade ago marked a major advance in cancer therapy, but only 10 per cent to 30 per cent of treated patients experience long-term improvement.

Researchers link popular dietary supplement with cancer
Updated : 3 years, 4 months ago IST
While previous studies have linked commercial dietary supplements like nicotinamide riboside (NR), a form of vitamin B3, to benefits related to cardiovascular, metabolic and neurological health, new research from the University of Missouri has found NR could actually increase the risk of ser

Injections for diabetes, cancer could become unnecessary soon
Updated : 3 years, 4 months ago IST
Some medications for these illnesses dissolve in water, making it impossible to carry them through the intestines, which process food and drink. As a result, these medications can't be taken by mouth. But UCR researchers have developed a chemical "tag" that can be attached to these medicatio
