Cervical tumors may be vulnerable to therapies that attack cancer's fuel supply, study shows

Cancer therapies have improved -- in some cases dramatically -- over the past two decades, but treatment for cervical cancer has remained largely unchanged. All patients receive radiation and chemotherapy, yet despite the aggressive approach, the regimen fails in about one-third of patients with cervical cancer that has spread beyond the cervix but not outside the pelvis.

Japanese scientists synthesize water-soluble warped nanographene

Graphene and its nano-sized little sibling, nanographene, are well known for their remarkable photoelectronic properties. However, biomedical applications are hampered by the insolubility of the materials, especially in water.

Researchers develop safe, potent mRNA vaccine adjuvants that can elicit effective immune response

Production of conventional vaccines, which involves the use of live-attenuated or purified protein subunits of pathogens, is a long and complex process. Nucleic acid vaccines are safer alternatives, and allow easy adjustment of antigen to target specific pathogens.

Researchers report technical advances in production of HIV vaccines

Research on HIV over the past decade has led to many promising ideas for vaccines to prevent infection by the AIDS virus, but very few candidate vaccines have been tested in clinical trials.

Phototherapeutic technology shows potential as anti-cancer weapon

A new anti-cancer strategy wields light as a precision weapon. Unlike traditional light therapy - which is limited to the skin and areas accessible with an endoscope - this technique can target and attack cancer cells that have spread deep inside the body, according to researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis.

Fusion gene may be found in cSCC lesions on skin exposed frequently to the sun

A fusion gene is a single composite gene that is the result of the combination of two formerly independent genes. Researchers from Kumamoto University, Japan have determined that a particular fusion gene has a tendency to be found in cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) lesions on skin exposed frequently to the sun.
