Researcher Paul Dent of Virginia Commonwealth University's Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology found that tumours that have metastasized to distant locations, such as the brain, are most often impossible to treat and cure, despite recent successes in some tumour types such as NS
Isolated from other cells in a laboratory dish, tumour cells won't reveal their actual nature. Rice University researchers created an improved tumour model that houses osteosarcoma cells alongside immune cells known as macrophages inside a three-dimensional framework designed to simulate bon
A new weapon in the arsenal of cancer cells' treatment resistance, according to a study conducted by the Garvan Institute of Medical Research, is the ability for them to respond randomly to chemotherapy.
According to recent research led by the Garvan Institute of Medical Research, cancer cells have an inbuilt randomness in their capacity to respond to chemotherapy, which is another weapon in their treatment resistance toolbox.
Named Priscilicidin, the antibiotic's amino acid building blocks are small, so it can be tailored to tackle different types of antimicrobial resistance.
