Certain breast cancer cells are resistant to treatment: Study

A study revealed that one-fourth of recurrent oestrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancers lack ER expression, they are resistant to endocrine treatment and can grow uncontrollably.

Gene signature indicates the prognosis of kidney cancer reveals study

The activity of some specific genes in the cancer cells seems to be able to predict the risk of the tumour reveals a study.

Drug could render cancer cell, says study

ATP would build up surrounding the cancer cells, which would really activate the immune response A study was published in the Journal for ImmunoTherapy of Cancer that demonstrates uses can render this weapon harmless Promotes the growth of new blood vessels that feed and hydrate the tumour

Scientists find genes that help cancer cells to penetrate brain

Tumour cells are known to enter the brain both through dense contacts between the cells of the tunicae and through these cells themselves In the first case, cancer cells use enzymes and/or microRNAs to disrupt the structure of the dense contacts and increase the permeability of the BBB Another protein, placental growth factor, triggers a chain of reactions to facilitate the development of metastases in lung, gastric or colorectal cancer

Protein promotes cancer, suppresses anti-tumour immunity

Recent research indicated that TBK1, which normally mediates induction of type 1 interferon in response to viruses or bacteria, promotes the survival and reproduction of KRAS-dependent cancer cells.

End of Chemotherapy? Scientists discover kill code in human cells to end can

A kill code in human cells can trigger the cancer erosion mechanism without having to use chemotherapy and without messing with the genome, say scientists.

Cancer overrides circadian clock to survive, says study

For tumours to grow and spread, cancer cells must make larger than normal amounts of nucleic acids and protein, so they can replicate themselves.

Cancer overrides body clock to survive: Study

Patients with breast, gastric or lung cancers survived longer when they had higher levels of Bmal1 protein.

Indian, Russian scientists craft gold nanostars to destroy cancer cells

Star-shaped nanoparticles appear to be the most efficient in photothermal therapy (PTT) that uses light radiation for the treatment of many medical conditions, including cancer.

10 Oct 2017

New compound can make cancer cells commit suicide

Researchers say that this compound can be very useful for a country like India, which is seeing a growth in cancer cases.

02 Oct 2017

Ancient plant-based ink could treat cancer

Scientists claim this ink used by Chinese calligraphers for hundreds of years could be significant in treating the deadly diseases.

21 Sep 2017

Researchers identify new way to fight cancer

Researchers have found a way to target an enzyme that is crucial to tumour growth while also blocking the mechanism that has made past attempts to target that enzyme resistant to treatment.

09 Aug 2017

New drug may treat blood cancer patients

Researchers analysed gene expression data from 269 AML patients and found an association between the activity of a group of HOX genes and the patient survival rate.

06 Aug 2017

New drug may inhibit cancer cell growth

The team also found an LxxLL motif (a common sequence of amino acids) in the p85a protein, which acts as an intermediary between RXRa and PI3K.

Drug that re-programmes cells to fight cancer developed in Australia

The therapy involves removing a patient's own immune cells, genetically engineering them to enhance their ability to destroy tumours, and putting them back in the body to fight cancer.

13 Jun 2017

Cancer cells can take 100 times the hit with a combination of vitamin C and antibiotics, says study!

The new combination approach prevents cancer cells from changing their diet (metabolically inflexible), and effectively starves them, by preventing them from using any other available types of bio-fuels.

06 Jun 2017

Researchers find new potential target for cancer treatment

Researchers have discovered that cancer cells and normal cells use different 'gene switches' in order to regulate the expression of genes that control growth.

29 May 2017

US researchers identify new way to slow down cancer development

On a closer look, the researchers found out how Tudor-SN is important in the "preparatory" phase of the cell cycle, the period when the cell gets ready to divide, according to the study.

26 May 2017

Researchers create artificial designer viruses to help fight cancer

These designer viruses alert the immune system and cause it to send killer cells to help fight the tumour.

21 May 2017

Researchers find antibody to kill cancer cells

The antibody can precisely target regulatory T cells which in turn unleash the immune system to kill cancer cells.
