Research suggests dying cancer cells release cell-free chromatin particles
Updated : 2 years ago IST
Tata Memorial Centre research suggests that dying cancer cells release cell-free chromatin particles after chemotherapy and radiotherapy that can turn healthy cells into cancerous ones, an official statement from the Department of Atomic Energy said on Monday.

Study reveals how ultrasound is promising technique for treating cancer
Updated : 2 years, 9 months ago IST
Ultrasound is a potential cancer treatment tool. Unlike laser light, which is employed in photodynamic cancer therapy, ultrasonic waves may penetrate deep into tissue (up to 12 cm) to treat deep tumours while causing no harm to healthy cells.

Study finds details on molecular mechanism that prevents cancer
Updated : 2 years, 9 months ago IST
Apoptosis is essential for human life, and its disruption can cause cancerous cells to grow and not respond to cancer treatment. In healthy cells, it is regulated by two proteins with opposing roles known as Bax and Bcl-2. The study was published in 'Science Advances'.

Study reveals potential treatment of autoimmune diseases
Updated : 3 years ago IST
Japanese researchers have identified a chemical substance that may be used to treat a variety of autoimmune conditions, including rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis. Some illnesses develop when the immune system of the body malfunctions. Instead of attacking germs and illnesses as i

Simultaneous radiation, immunotherapy beneficial for subset of lung cancer
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
In many cancer types, cancer cells try to survive by escaping attack from the immune system. These cancer cells hijack mechanisms called immune checkpoints to trick the immune system into thinking they are healthy cells. Recent advances in cancer treatment have focused on developing immune c

Researchers find why Cancer cells require proteins, copper
Updated : 3 years, 4 months ago IST
Study revealed why metal copper are required by human cells to perform essential biological functions. The conclusion drawn from studies demonstrating higher copper levels in tumor cells and blood serum from cancer patients is that cancer cells require more copper than healthy cells.
