Mar. 13, 2024 Cells possess an innate immune system that defends against invasive pathogens. Previous studies have mapped out the cytoplasmic cGAS-STING pathway in the cytoplasm, known for responding to foreign ...
Mar. 11, 2024 A newly developed 'GPS nanoparticle' injected intravenously can home in on cancer cells to deliver a genetic punch to the protein implicated in tumor growth and spread, according to ...
Mar. 11, 2024 Scientists trained a machine-learning algorithm to predict accurately brain metastasis using biopsy samples from early-stage non-small cell lung cancer patients. It was also highly accurate in ...
Mar. 8, 2024 Insights into the workings of an immune cell surface receptor, called PD-1, reveal how treatments that restrict its action can potentially be strengthened to improve their anticancer effect, a new ...
Mar. 8, 2024 Scientists have developed a new approach using the Zika virus to destroy brain cancer cells and inhibit tumor growth, while sparing healthy ...
Mar. 7, 2024 Retinoic acid, the active state of Vitamin A, appears to regulate how stem cells enter and exit a transient state central to their role in wound ...
Mar. 6, 2024 The gastrointestinal tract is already known to researchers as a major storage site for micro- and nanoplastic particles (MNPs) in the human body. A research consortium has now investigated the ...
Mar. 6, 2024 A recent study provides critical insights into the reliability and robustness of patient-derived organoids as a clinical model of pancreatic cancer. The findings reveal that organoids' gene ...
Mar. 6, 2024 A groundbreaking nanosurgical tool -- about 500 times thinner than a human hair -- could be transformative for cancer research and give insights into treatment resistance that no other technology has ...
Mar. 5, 2024 Researchers have designed a candidate drug that could help make pancreatic cancer, which is almost always fatal, a treatable, perhaps even curable, ...
Mar. 5, 2024 Biosensing technology developed by engineers has made it possible to create gene test strips that rival conventional lab-based tests in ...
Mar. 5, 2024 Each year, approximately 2,000 people die annually of gallbladder cancer (GBC) in the U.S., with only one in five cases diagnosed at an early stage. With GBC rated as the first biliary tract cancer ...
Mar. 4, 2024 Researchers have developed an artificial intelligence model that can accurately identify tumors and diseases in medical images. The tool draws a map to explain each diagnosis, helping doctors follow ...
Mar. 4, 2024 A team of researchers has discovered a noninvasive, low-cost test to detect oral cancer, monitor precancerous lesions and determine when a biopsy is ...
Mar. 1, 2024 Sugars cover nearly all proteins present at the surface of the cells in our bodies, forming a shield around the proteins. Thus, these sugars influence how cells interact with their environment ...
Mar. 1, 2024 Researchers have discovered a key mechanism used by Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV), also known as human herpesvirus 8 (HHV8), to induce cancer. The research points to effective ...
Feb. 29, 2024 Researchers are exploiting a unique biological feature of glioblastoma to gain a better understanding of how this puzzling brain cancer develops and how to target new treatments against it. The team ...
Feb. 28, 2024 Scientists uncover the mechanism by which cells mark the protein cGAS for degradation, which is critical in preventing the immune system from mistakenly attacking the body's own ...
Feb. 28, 2024 Researchers built a new atlas of lung cells, uncovering new cellular pathways and precursors in the development of lung adenocarcinoma, the most common type of lung cancer. These findings open the ...
Feb. 28, 2024 Our bodies depend on mucus to function properly. As it turns out, so do some cancer cells. Scientists discovered mucus not only allows young pancreatic cancer cells to grow, but also prevents them ...
