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 shed new light on why cancer may spread to spine
Updated : 5 months, 3 weeks ago IST
According to Weill Cornell Medicine researchers, the vertebral bones that make up the spine are formed by a type of stem cell that secretes a protein that promotes tumour spread. The discovery provides light on why solid tumours typically metastasise to the spine and may aid in the developme

Researchers give more insight into reasons why cancer may spread to spine
Updated : 5 months, 3 weeks ago IST
According to a study conducted by scientists at Weill Cornell Medicine, the vertebral bones that make up the spine originate from a special kind of stem cell that secretes a protein that encourages tumour metastasis. The finding opens up a new area of study into spinal illnesses, sheds light

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.

Researchers shed light on why certain brain tumors don’t respond to immuno
Updated : 5 months, 3 weeks ago IST
A study performed by UCLA Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Centre researchers gave new light on why tumours that have spread to the brain from other parts of the body react to immunotherapy whereas glioblastoma, an aggressive brain cancer, does not.
