Immunotherapy, or antibody treatment that activates the patient's own immune system against cancer, is increasingly being studied as an alternative to chemotherapy and radiotherapy. This is because it directly targets cancer cells, reducing the negative effects associated with more conventi
According to a recent study, Malassezia globosa, a common skin fungus, may penetrate deep tissues through the skin or by other methods, which can lead to tumor formation.
Researchers discovered a protein CDK7 that could prevent heart damage caused by a routinely used cancer chemotherapy treatment. Importantly, the researchers discovered that blocking CDK7 could improve the medication's cancer-killing efficacy.
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
Lung adenocarcinoma is the most common type of lung cancer, accounting for the majority of cancer-related fatalities in the US. There are various causes of lung adenocarcinoma, one of which is a mutation in a protein known as EGFR. Non-mutant EGFR stimulates cell proliferation in response to
A revolutionary study performed by UNIST's Department of Biological Sciences' Professor Sebyung Kang and Professor Sung Ho Park has shown a significant advance in cancer therapy. The study team has successfully generated novel "NK cell-engaging nanodrones" capable of specifically targeting
Macrophages are white blood cells that serve as the body's first line of defence against infection. Macrophages can launch a reaction against tumours in addition to destroying dangerous germs. However, macrophages, like other cells, can reach a state known as senescence, which is associated
