Sep. 18, 2023 Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-cell (CAR T) therapy has delivered promising results, transforming the fight against various forms of cancer, but for many, the therapy comes with severe and potentially ...
Sep. 18, 2023 Scientists demonstrate a double-acting mechanism for fighting a particularly aggressive, difficult-to-treat form of breast cancer. The research shows how silencing a certain gene, ACSS2, may improve ...
Sep. 18, 2023 Researchers have discovered that certain nano-based cancer therapies may be less effective in younger patients, highlighting the need for further investigation into the impact of aging on the ...
Sep. 18, 2023 Exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals like PFAS and phenols are implicated in hormone-mediated cancers of the breast, ovaries, skin and uterus. To learn more about the environmental exposures ...
Sep. 15, 2023 Researchers have achieved a significant breakthrough in identifying the primary cause and potential treatment for preeclampsia, a severe pregnancy complication. Experts pinpointed a toxic protein ...
Sep. 15, 2023 The authors of new research led by the University of Exeter have warned that women who discover, outside of a clinical setting, that they carry a disease-causing variant in one of the BRCA genes ...
Sep. 14, 2023 A study reveals a possible explanation for why checkpoint blockade inhibitors don't work well for some patients whose tumors have a high mutational ...
Sep. 14, 2023 Researchers have characterized a specialized type of immune cell, which plays a key role in protecting and repairing the cells in the healthy human ...
Sep. 14, 2023 Researchers have discovered a new way to target and kill cancer cells in hard-to-treat brain tumours using electrically charged molecules to trigger self-destruction, that could be developed into a ...
Sep. 13, 2023 Scientists identify a new and surprising function of a membrane protein on the surface of cancer cells: It supports and stabilizes an important 'co-stimulatory' factor that enhances the ...
Sep. 13, 2023 Reflux disease manifests as acid regurgitation and heartburn and is a known risk factor for esophageal cancer. However, a new study now reports that the majority of patients do not have a higher risk ...
Sep. 13, 2023 A research team has led a groundbreaking study that delves into the exploration of triple-negative apocrine ...
Sep. 12, 2023 A standard chemotherapy drug injures surrounding non-cancer cells, which can then awakens dormant cancer cells and promotes cancer growth, according to a new study. The finding is important for ...
Sep. 12, 2023 A review of COVID-19 studies globally has revealed reductions in breast cancer screening participation during 2020, with differences between geographic regions and healthcare ...
