Study uses cancer cells as logic gates to find out what makes them move
Updated : 3 years, 1 month ago IST
Cancer cells migrate through the body for a variety of reasons; some simply follow the flow of a fluid, while others actively follow chemical trails. So, how do you figure out which cells are shifting and why? Researchers at Purdue University reverse-engineered a cellular signal processing s

Women show higher risk of developing cancer in both breast: Research
Updated : 3 years, 1 month ago IST
According to a study led by the Mayo Clinic Comprehensive Cancer Center, women who have cancer in one breast may be more likely to develop cancer in the opposite breast if they carry specific genetic changes that predispose them to develop breast cancer.

Updated : 3 years, 1 month ago IST
Cancer cells migrate through the body for multiple reasons; some are simply following the flow of a fluid, while others are actively following specific chemical trails. So how do you determine which cells are moving and why? Purdue University researchers have reverse-engineered a cellular si

Study shows how liver cancer hijacks circadian clock machinery inside cell
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
The most common type of liver cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), is already the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths globally--and cases are on the rise, both in the U.S. and worldwide. While chemotherapy, surgery and liver transplants can help some patients, targeted treatments

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

Delaying antibiotics for neutropenic fever may not affect survival of canc
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
Neutropenia--low levels of white blood cells called neutrophils, which fight infection--develops in more than 80 per cent of patients who receive chemotherapy for blood cancer. It occurs because chemotherapy destroys neutrophils along with tumour cells.

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

Scientists unlock cancer's ancestry
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
Could knowing where your ancestors came from be the key to better cancer treatments? Maybe, but where would that key fit? How can we trace cancer's ancestral roots to modern-day solutions? For Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) Research Professor Alexander Krasnitz, the answers may lie dee

Concentration of surgery improves operations for childhood cancer: Researc
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
Neuroblastoma is a tumour of the sympathetic nervous system that occurs mainly in young children. Every year, 25 children in the Netherlands receive this diagnosis. Surgery to remove the tumour tissue forms an important part of the treatment plan. Since November 2014, care for children in th

Researchers unravel population of 'cheating' cells in cancers
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
Researchers at UConn Health, Yale, and Johns Hopkins have identified that some cancer cells can "cheat" by escaping constraints imposed by lack of oxygen, allowing the cancer cells to continue to grow.
