Cancer-infecting virus ‘warms up’ cold tumors, boosts immunotherapy: Resea
Updated : 5 months, 3 weeks ago IST
According to recent research published in the Journal of Experimental Medicine, equipping cancer-infecting viruses with tumor-inhibiting genetic cargo boosts the immune system and supports immunotherapy in reducing or totally eradicating aggressive tumours in mice. The findings pave the path

Study discovers improved survival for incurable brain tumours
Updated : 5 months, 3 weeks ago IST
For the first time, researchers discovered a potential drug candidate that improved outcomes for patients suffering from a type of childhood brain tumour that has no effective treatment. When compared to previous patients, the compound, called ONC201, nearly doubled survival for patients wit

Tumour cell growth is impacted by mineralization of bone matrix: Study
Updated : 5 months, 3 weeks 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

Study finds how body’s invisible scalpel removes brain cancer
Updated : 5 months, 3 weeks ago IST
Glioblastoma, the most prevalent and lethal type of brain cancer, spreads quickly, invading and destroying healthy brain tissue. The tumour shoots malignant tendrils into the brain, making surgical removal of the tumour extremely difficult or impossible.

Mineralization of bone matrix affects tumour cell growth: Research
Updated : 2 years, 7 months ago IST
Tumour cells are known to be fickle sleepers, typically lying dormant in distant tissues for years before reactivating and producing metastasis. Numerous elements, ranging from cells and molecules to other components in the so-called tissue microenvironment, have been researched to determine

Obesity makes ovarian cancer deadlier
Updated : 5 months, 3 weeks ago IST
In cancer patients with a BMI higher than 30 (the range for obesity determined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention), the researchers found a particular pattern in the type of immune cells surrounding cancerous tumours.

How to deal with metastatic cancer
Updated : 5 months, 3 weeks ago IST
The body's lymph nodes serve as one of its first lines of defence against sickness. From these biological police stations, immune cells are sent out to repel invaders. However, the majority of metastatic tumours also start in lymph nodes.
