Stromal cells may be useful in assessing prostate tumors' potential to spread

Non-cancerous cells called stromal cells, which are found in and around prostate tumors, may be useful in assessing these tumors' potential to spread, and may even be targets for future prostate cancer treatments, according to a study led by researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine.

New approach using ultrasound-guided drug delivery effectively targets lymph node metastasis

Researchers at Tohoku University have discovered a new approach for treating lymph node metastasis. Anticancer drugs are administered directly into the LNs under ultrasound guidance (Lymphatic Drug Delivery System or LDDS) to target sentinel lymph nodes (LNs) and generate antitumor effects locally, preventing distant metastasis.

Research reveals the function of a little-understood junction between brain cells

New research from Oregon Health & Science University for the first time reveals the function of a little-understood junction between cells in the brain that could have important treatment implications for conditions ranging from multiple sclerosis to Alzheimer's disease, to a type of brain cancer known as glioma.
