Cellular messengers improve cancer therapy: Research
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
Nano-sized membrane bubbles known as extracellular vesicles activate the immune system in mice and seem to render their tumours sensitive to a type of immunotherapy drug called a checkpoint inhibitor. This is according to a new study published in Cancer Immunology Research by researchers at

Researchers find out whether turmeric can help in breast cancer treatment
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
Approximately 70 per cent of breast cancer cases are hormonally driven, and treatment involves oral oestrogen blockers. However, the medications can induce joint pain, which is why many women stop taking them, placing them at an increased risk of relapse.

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

Researchers reveal how ammonia dysregulates T cell function
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
According to new research, mice with colorectal cancer who have tumours with high levels of ammonia have fewer T cells and are less responsive to immunotherapy. Ammonia, which is crucial for anti-tumor immunity, has been demonstrated to impede the proliferation and operation of T cells.
