Research: Killing pancreatic cancer with T cells that supercharge themselv
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
Scientists at UC San Francisco (UCSF) have engineered T cells to produce a potent anti-cancer cytokine, but only when they encounter tumour cells.

Researchers find new treatment for endometriosis
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
Endometriosis is a condition that causes pelvic pain, menstrual cramps, and infertility, and it affects up to 15 percent of women in the United States who are of reproductive age. Endometriosis occurs when tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside of the uterus. This tumour ma

Researchers reveal intermediate cells that helps to treat resistance in pr
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
From the onset of the disease through the point of androgen independence, where the tumour no longer responds to hormone restriction therapy, researchers have described prostate cancer cell dynamics at a single-cell resolution over the course of the disease.

Researchers reveal how metastatic cancer causes leaky blood vessels
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
Researchers examine the local communication between endothelial cells and tumors cells and its effects on endothelial cell orientation. The approach uses co-cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells and breast epithelial tumor cell lines to simulate the tumor-endothelial interaction. T

KRAS drug stops cancer growth in preclinical models of pancreatic cancer:
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
Cancer-causing gene mutation KRAS, found in nearly 30 per cent of all human tumours, successfully shrunk tumours or stopped cancer growth in preclinical models of pancreatic cancer.

Muscle loss severity is related to tumour type, size, location in mice
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
Approximately 80% of cancer patients experience substantial muscle wasting or loss of muscular tissue, and 30% of these individuals die as a result of this illness. According to new mouse research, the severity of muscle wasting is related to the kind, size, and location of the tumour.

Scientists reveal first close-up look at bats' immune response to live inf
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
Scientists at Duke-NUS Medical School and colleagues in Singapore have sequenced the response to viral infection in colony-bred cave nectar bats (Eonycteris spelaea) at single-cell resolution. Published in the journal Immunity, the findings contribute to insights into bat immunity that could

Appendiceal cancer gets its own preclinical model
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
Appendiceal cancer (malignancies of the appendix, a small tissue pouch that is part of the gastrointestinal tract) is very rare, occurring in perhaps one or two people per 1 million per year. Prognoses are mixed, with a 5-year survival rate of 67 to 97 per cent for low-grade tumours detected

Tumour matrix profiling can predict some lung cancers' progression
Updated : 3 years, 4 months ago IST
Scientists at the Garvan Institute of Medical Research have identified molecular profiles of the surrounding matrix of a common type of lung cancer that might indicate which patients are likely to develop aggressive tumours.

Leprosy has potential to regenerate livers: Research
Updated : 3 years, 4 months ago IST
Although leprosy is among the oldest and most enduring diseases in the world, the bacteria that cause it may also have a surprisingly strong capacity to grow and regenerate an essential organ.

Study suggests aerobic exercise lowers risk of metastatic cancer
Updated : 3 years, 4 months ago IST
The probability of cancer metastatic spread can be reduced by aerobic exercise by 72 per cent, according to a recent study.

Study finds common mechanism tumours use to suppress immune responses
Updated : 3 years, 4 months ago IST
A Ludwig Cancer Research study has revealed a single protein expressed at high levels by cancer cells across a broad range of malignancies that erects a multifaceted barrier to anti-cancer immune responses in mouse models of cancer and so shields tumours from immune detection and destruction
