Dec. 18, 2023 A team of scientists has successfully developed a groundbreaking targeted therapy that hones in on the KRAS protein that drives some of the deadliest human cancers, including pancreatic, lung and ...
Dec. 1, 2022 About 80% of people with cancer suffer from significant muscle wasting, or loss of muscle tissue, and 30% of these patients die from this condition. New research in mice finds that the severity of ...
Nov. 29, 2022 A scientific study exploring the appropriate interval for colorectal cancer screening via non-invasive multi-target stool DNA testing for individuals with average risk for the disease reported ...
Nov. 25, 2022 Researchers have designed cancer-fighting nanoparticles that co-deliver a chemotherapy drug and a novel immunotherapy, according to a new ...
Nov. 18, 2022 A dietary change could be a key to enhancing colon cancer treatment, a new study finds. Researchers found in cells and in mice that a low-protein diet blocked the nutrient signaling pathway that ...
Nov. 17, 2022 Researchers have discovered a new mechanism that explains why only some of the cells in a colon tumor respond to chemotherapy. The research team was able to establish that tumor cells dying off ...
Nov. 9, 2022 Researchers report the discovery of the population of residual tumor cells responsible for the recurrence of colorectal cancer in other organs after removal of the primary tumor. The study shows that ...
Oct. 27, 2022 Medical researchers have developed new chemical compounds that show promise in a potential anticancer therapy to treat aggressive ...
Oct. 27, 2022 Colorectal cancer is one of the most common cancers. Its treatment is mainly based on chemotherapy. However, over time, chemotherapy induces resistance in the majority of patients, who end up being ...
Oct. 17, 2022 Researchers have identified a new gene that is essential to colon cancer growth and found that inflammation in the external environment around the tumor can contribute to the growth of tumor ...
Sep. 8, 2022 Physical activity may be associated with improved outcomes for patients undergoing postoperative treatment for Stage III colon cancer, a new study ...
Aug. 10, 2022 In a new study, researchers define how the circadian clock influences cell growth, metabolism and tumor progression. Their research also reveals how disruption of the circadian clock impacts genome ...
Aug. 4, 2022 Researchers have combined optical coherence tomography (OCT) and machine learning to develop a colorectal cancer imaging tool that may one day improve the traditional endoscopy currently used by ...
Aug. 2, 2022 Colorectal tumors are a common adverse effect of chronic inflammation of the intestine. In a new study, researchers demonstrate that mice models with dendritic cell immunoreceptor (DCIR) protein ...
July 25, 2022 Researchers designed a silicon-based agent that successfully generated hydrogen continuously in the mouse gastrointestinal tract in an ulcerative colitis (UC) model. The hydrogen served as an ...
July 22, 2022 Colorectal tumors are swarming with white blood cells, but whether these cells help or hinder the cancer is hotly debated. While some studies have shown that white blood cells heroically restrict ...
July 14, 2022 Data suggest that Clostridioides difficile, or C. diff, a bacterial species well known for causing serious diarrheal infections, may also drive colorectal ...
June 27, 2022 New research builds the case that a Western-style diet -- rich in red and processed meat, sugar and refined grains/carbohydrates -- is tied to higher risk of colorectal cancer through the intestinal ...
June 23, 2022 New research in mice has paved the way for a Phase I clinical trial and has the potential to transform vaccines against HIV and ...
June 21, 2022 A new combination therapy to combat cancer could one day consist of a plant virus and an antibody that activates the immune system's 'natural killer' cells, shows a new study. In mouse ...
