Study finds how Pembrolizumab helps in cervical cancer treatment
Updated : 3 years, 1 month ago IST
Chemotherapy and pembrolizumab have been approved for the treatment of women with metastatic, recurring, or persistent cervical cancer whose tumours express PD-L1. Chemotherapy can be administered with or without bevacizumab. Whether pembrolizumab in this combination provides patients with a

Researchers circumvent radiation resistance in subtypes of brain tumours
Updated : 3 years, 1 month ago IST
Researchers have uncovered a gene that is overexpressed in mutated IDH1. Studies in human cells and a novel mouse model both show that this gene, called ZMYND8, plays a critical role in radiation resistance. When they knocked down the gene, the glioma cells became responsive to radiation tre

Research: Molecular interactions may be crucial in preventing spread of ca
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
Researchers have uncovered a series of molecular interactions that may be crucial in preventing the spread of cancer cells. There is currently no effective therapeutic strategy to stop metastasis, which is the main cause of death from solid malignant tumours.

Aggressive surgery improves survival in patients with low-grade brain tumo
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
According to the findings of a study led by UC San Francisco, the progression of a low-grade, slow-growing brain tumour to a deadly one can be delayed if neurosurgeons remove as much as possible soon after diagnosis.

Research reveals new method for tracking gene activity across tissues
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
The method, described in the study published journal 'Nature Biotechnology,' records gene activity patterns and the presence of key proteins in cells across tissue samples while retaining information about the cells' precise location. This allows for the creation of complex, data-rich "maps"

Researchers identify immune cell that helps kill bladder cancer tumors
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
Mount Sinai researchers have made two important discoveries about the mechanism by which bladder cancer cells foil attacks from the immune system. The research, published in Cancer Cell in September, could lead to a new therapeutic option for patients with these types of tumors.

Cellular messengers improve cancer therapy: Research
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
Nano-sized membrane bubbles known as extracellular vesicles activate the immune system in mice and seem to render their tumours sensitive to a type of immunotherapy drug called a checkpoint inhibitor. This is according to a new study published in Cancer Immunology Research by researchers at

Researchers reveal how ammonia dysregulates T cell function
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
According to new research, mice with colorectal cancer who have tumours with high levels of ammonia have fewer T cells and are less responsive to immunotherapy. Ammonia, which is crucial for anti-tumor immunity, has been demonstrated to impede the proliferation and operation of T cells.
