Research reveals senescent immune cells promote lung tumor growth
Updated : 2 years, 6 months ago IST
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

Study finds how microRNA therapy slows cancer tumour growth
Updated : 2 years, 6 months ago IST
The therapy, tested in mouse models, combines a delivery system that targets cancer cells with a specially modified version of microRNA-34a, a molecule that acts “like the brakes on a car,” slowing or stopping cell division, said Andrea Kasinski, lead author and the William and Patty Miller

Study sheds light on breast cancer survivors, medication
Updated : 2 years, 6 months ago IST
Treatment for over 80 per cent of breast cancer survivors does not end with surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy. Instead, doctors advise them to take medication to inhibit sex hormones, which can fuel tumour growth and cause recurrence, for the next five to ten years.
