Taiwanese researchers uncover new cancer signalling mechanism
Updated : 1 year, 1 month ago IST
Researchers from CCU and NCKU have discovered a new cancer signalling mechanism that enables pancreatic cancer cells to evade immune destruction and sustain tumour growth. The TIMP1-CD63 signalling pathway, along with DUSP2 deficiency, creates a self-perpetuating cycle that accelerates cance

Researchers find out way to prevent childhood brain tumour: Study
Updated : 5 months, 1 week ago IST
Brain cancer presents a unique set of challenges for researchers because by the time a person develops symptoms, the tumours are sometimes so complicated that the fundamental mechanisms driving tumour growth are no longer easily identifiable. A research team led by Dr. Peter Dirks is aiming

Here is how cancer cells fend off starvation, death from chemotherapy, fin
Updated : 5 months, 1 week ago IST
Laboratory experiments with cancer cells reveal two ways in which tumors evade drugs designed to starve and kill them, a new study shows. While chemotherapy successfully treats tumours and extends patients' lives, it is known that they do not work for everyone for long, since cancer cells re

Study reveals how cancer drug helps to restore immune system's ability to
Updated : 5 months, 1 week ago IST
A group led by scientists at The University of Texas at Austin has discovered a brand-new, bio-inspired medication that restores the capability of immune cells to combat cancer. The medication increases the effectiveness of immunotherapy and inhibits tumour growth in mice models of melanoma,

Senescent immune cells promote lung tumor growth: Study
Updated : 2 years, 5 months ago IST
Researchers detected senescent macrophages in the lung that not only remained but also supported tumour growth in a recent Cancer Cell study.

Researchers find combination of cancer inhibitors in slowing tumour growth
Updated : 2 years, 6 months ago IST
In individuals with specific malignancies, including as head and neck squamous cell carcinoma and lung adenocarcinoma, a combination of inhibitors has been shown to reduce tumour growth and prevent relapse. Their findings encourage the creation of novel therapy modalities that specifically t

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.

Tumour cell growth is impacted by mineralization of bone matrix: Study
Updated : 5 months, 1 week ago IST
The mineralization of the bone matrix, a fibrous mesh of organic and inorganic components that determines the distinct biochemical and biomechanical properties of our skeleton, has now been discovered by an interdisciplinary Cornell team as a new mechanism controlling tumour growth in the sk

Tumour growth can be prevented by eliminating extra chromosomes in cancer
Updated : 2 years, 8 months ago IST
According to a recent Yale study, cancer cells with extra chromosomes depend on those chromosomes for tumour growth, and eliminating them prevents the cells from developing into tumours. The researchers' findings suggest that a unique strategy for treating cancer may involve selectively targ

Study suggests removing excess chromosomes from cancer cells can prevent t
Updated : 2 years, 8 months ago IST
A new Yale study found that cancer cells with extra chromosomes rely on those chromosomes for tumour formation, and eliminating them prevents the cells from developing tumours. The findings suggested the prospect of a revolutionary cancer therapy technique that selectively targets extra chro

Eliminating extra chromosomes in cancer cells prevent tumor growth: Study
Updated : 2 years, 8 months ago IST
Cancer cells with extra chromosomes rely on those chromosomes for tumour growth, according to a new Yale study, and removing them inhibits the cells from becoming tumours. According to the researchers, the findings show that specifically targeting additional chromosomes may offer a novel app
