Research: Fibroblasts connected to cancer increase drug sensitivity
Updated : 3 years, 7 months ago IST
Washington [US], August 21 (ANI): Despite some studies suggesting that these fibroblasts may also make cancer cells more sensitive to therapy, cancer-associated fibroblasts in the tumour environment have typically been linked to tumour progression and resistance to therapy.

New injectable gel shows potential for tough-to-treat brain tumours
Updated : 3 years, 7 months ago IST
Wisconsin [US], August 13 (ANI): In most cases, months after the patient's first tumour is surgically removed, glioblastoma recurs, like the hardest weed. Due to this, the survival rates for this cancer are only 25% after one year and drop to 5% after five years.

Research reveals glioma drug exploits DNA repair defects to selectively ta
Updated : 3 years, 8 months ago IST
Washington [US], July 28 (ANI): A new class of glioma medications takes advantage of tumours lacking the DNA repair enzyme MGMT; the medications cause the generation of cytotoxic DNA and kill tumour cells specifically without the risk of developing resistance, according to research.
