Study shows how T cells therapy in solid tumours can be improved
Updated : 2 years, 12 months ago IST
Researchers at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania have been working on a preclinical study that focuses on a novel strategy that uses a "one-two punch" to assist T cells in attacking solid tumours. The results, which were reported in the Proceedings of the Nati

Advanced imaging might aid in clinical treatment of prostate cancer: Study
Updated : 3 years ago IST
An advanced imaging approach is showing promise in improving prostate cancer detection by providing doctors with a clearer image of suspected tumours during the biopsy.

Study suggests how immune cell leakage from tumours improve skin cancer tr
Updated : 3 years ago IST
Experiments on mice and human cells reveal that the number of specialised immune cells ready to combat skin cancer increased when a novel therapy prevented their egress from melanoma tumours.

Head injuries could be risk factor for developing brain cancer
Updated : 3 years ago IST
A very uncommon but frequently aggressive type of brain tumour called a glioma may be caused by damage, according to key molecular research from the UCL Cancer Centre. Although there may be a connection between head trauma and an increase in brain tumour incidence, the evidence is conflictin

Everything you need to know about how blood-brain barrier works
Updated : 3 years ago IST
Researching the wall separating the circulatory system from the neurological system has been highly difficult or limited in its use of models. In order to properly investigate potential new treatments for brain tumours, researchers have created a more realistic model.

Study reveals how natural killer immune cells can change tissue inflammati
Updated : 3 years ago IST
Researchers have discovered a previously unidentified function of "natural killer" (NK) immune cells, which has increased our understanding of how the immune system is controlled to prevent disease.

Researchers reveal therapeutic strategy to kill cancer cell
Updated : 3 years ago IST
Gene mutations are the cause of cancer. Tumor suppressors and oncogenes are the two main groups of these altered genes in cancer. Mutations in oncogenes can drive cell proliferation, pushing the gas pedal all the way to the floor, whereas mutations in tumour suppressor genes can cause tumour

Research sheds light on therapeutic strategy to kill cancer cells
Updated : 3 years, 1 month ago IST
Cancer is a disease driven by gene mutations. These mutated genes in cancer fall into two major categories: tumour suppressors and oncogenes. Mutations in tumour suppressor genes can allow tumours to grow unchecked - a case of no brakes - while mutations in oncogenes can activate cell prolif

Researchers find why immunotherapy doesn't work well for lung cancer treat
Updated : 3 years, 1 month ago IST
Some cancers respond well to immunotherapy, a medication therapy that prompts the immune system to target tumours, although results against lung cancer have been conflicting.

Researchers suggest new device to detect brain cancer using urine
Updated : 3 years, 1 month ago IST
The presence of a brain tumour can be determined by identifying a crucial membrane protein in urine, according to research from Nagoya University in Japan. By eliminating the need for intrusive tests and raising the possibility that tumours are found early enough for surgery, their protein m
