Enzyme inhibition reduces cancer-related bone loss and the number of bone metastases

In our bones, specialized cells called osteoblasts are responsible for building up bone substance. A team of researchers led by scientists from the DKFZ-Hector Cancer Institute at the University Medical Center Mannheim and the University Medical Center Hamburg Eppendorf has now identified an enzyme that controls the activity of osteoblasts.

Inhibiting inflammatory signaling pathway could reduce the chances of heart disease in cancer survivors

Researchers at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) in New York have discovered that common cancer treatments, such as radiotherapy or anthracycline drugs, cause long-term damage to heart tissue by activating a key inflammatory signaling pathway.

Researchers identify a small number of 'cheating' cancer cells under hypoxia

Researchers at UConn Health, Yale, and Johns Hopkins have identified that some cancer cells can "cheat" through escaping constraints imposed by lack of oxygen, allowing the cancer cells to continue to grow.

Using synthetic gene circuits to better control the timing of immunotherapy

In two separate studies, researchers demonstrate how synthetic biology can be used to tackle a difficult issue in cancer immunotherapy: the way immunotherapy-related approaches focused on short-term killing of tumor cells may fail to eradicate tumors because growth of tumors happens on longer timescales.

Scientists uncover how FoxH1 factor binds to specific points in the genome

Transcription factors are proteins that interact with DNA to regulate the function of some genes. Generally, a single transcription factor binds to several regions in the genome as it orchestrates complex cellular responses, which require the activation or inhibition of several genes.
