Cancer medication helps to fight against malaria: Study
Updated : 2 years, 8 months ago IST
A group of UCF researchers are looking to use cancer pharmaceuticals to hasten the development of fresh, life-saving malaria treatments because the disease is getting more and more resistant to existing medications.

Study finds cancer cells can adapt to novel drugs
Updated : 2 years, 9 months ago IST
Researchers found cancer cells can adapt to new drugs called CDK2 inhibitors in 1-2 hours, but adding a second drug squelches the workaround. The study was published in Journal, 'Cell.'

Research finds link between drug resistance of leukaemia cells and mitocho
Updated : 2 years, 10 months ago IST
This process of "programmed cell death" often goes wrong in cancer. Damaged mitochondria can also undergo a form of "self-eating" termed mitophagy that prevents them from sending "death signals."

Researchers find effects of organic compound on drug resistance bacteria
Updated : 3 years, 4 months ago IST
Recently, researchers have found that the germ and several other clinically significant bacteria, including as Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Klebsiella pneumoniae, were susceptible to the bacterial killing action of hydroquinine, an organic chemical found in the bark of some t

Researchers working on reducing lung cancer medication resistance
Updated : 3 years, 4 months ago IST
Missouri [US], October 20 (ANI): After 14 months, there is a 70-80 per cent risk that non-small cell lung cancer, one of the two primary types of lung cancer, would become resistant to the pharmacological therapy that was initially used to treat it. There aren't many existing therapy alterna

Study finds drug resistance to fight lung cancer
Updated : 3 years, 4 months ago IST
Columbia [US], October 20 (ANI): When a person is diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer, one of the two primary types of lung cancer, there is a 70-80 per cent risk that cancer will acquire resistance to the initial medication therapy used to treat it after 14 months. If this occurs, the

Scientists find pathway allowing cancer to bypass oncology treatments
Updated : 4 years, 3 months ago IST
California [US], December 3 (ANI): The City of Hope researchers have identified a pathway that explained how mutated cancer cells can continue to replicate and become resistant to oncology therapies.

Antibiotic resistance can be prevented using evolutionary principles
Updated : 4 years, 6 months ago IST
Washington [US], August 31 (ANI): The findings of new research suggested an effective way to kill bacteria and prevent its drug resistance. This was done by sequential treatment using antibiotics that are similar but swapped around frequently.
