Cancer

Cancer refers to a group of more than a hundred diseases that can originate in many different parts of the body. Cancer begins in your cells, which are the building blocks of your body.

Metabolic Flexibility in Cancer: How Diet and Nutrition Shape Tumor Survival and Resistance

Cancer cells survive therapy by dynamically rewiring their metabolism in response to nutrient availability, microenvironmental stress, and therapeutic pressure. This article explains how dietary interventions may exploit metabolic flexibility and plasticity to enhance treatment response while accounting for tumor heterogeneity.

Researchers uncover how surrounding cells fuel triple-negative breast cancer growth

Triple-negative breast cancer, which accounts for approximately 10–15% of all breast cancer cases, is considered particularly difficult to treat because it grows rapidly and carries a high risk of recurrence.

Researchers identify promising new immune target for treating endometriosis

Affecting 200 million women of reproductive age, endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease that causes pain, infertility, and increased ovarian cancer risk.

Innovative organ-on-a-chip shows how tumors grow and interact with their surroundings

On an organ-on-a-chip researchers can now explore how tumours grow and interact with their surroundings.

Beyond food: Bran-based gels show potential for targeted drug delivery

When it comes to colon health, the benefits of wheat and rye bran in wholegrain foods are well-known. Now researchers in Sweden have shown how these fibers may have a therapeutic use, too.

Study decodes combinatorial p53 modification networks

A recent review highlights that p53 activity is orchestrated by a combinatorial network of post-translational modifications (PTMs), in which writers, erasers and reader proteins dynamically shape protein stability, DNA binding, subcellular localization, co-regulator assembly and transcriptional output.

Yale Cancer Center offers team-based care for breast cancer patients

Hilary Axtmayer can pinpoint the moment her life changed. In 2023, Axtmayer-then a 40-year-old mother of two from Madison, Conn.-was receiving her regularly scheduled breast exam when her gynecologist paused mid-palpation. She'd found a lump.

New method reveals how individual glioblastoma cells spread through the brain

By combining live imaging of brain tissue with artificial intelligence, researchers at Uppsala University have developed a method that reveals how individual glioblastoma cells spread through the brain, how they can switch between different ways of moving, and how they are affected by cancer treatments. An

Childhood cancer survival reaches nearly 90%, yet disparities remain

Nearly nine in 10 young people with cancer were alive five years after diagnosis by 2017 – up from six in 10 in 1975, according to first comprehensive update of U.S. childhood cancer survival statistics in over a decade published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.

Declining thermogenic fat activity may explain age-related cold sensitivity

Researchers from City of Hope®, one of the largest and most advanced cancer research and treatment organizations in the country, have uncovered the biological reason for why we become more sensitive to cold as we get older.

New molecular approach shows promise against treatment-resistant prostate cancer

Many modern cancer drugs typically target a specific protein or signaling pathway to treat tumors.

Proton therapy radiation patterns may increase breast implant complications

Radiation therapy is sometimes needed after mastectomy and breast reconstruction for breast cancer.

Chronic stress promotes oral cancer through a brain–immune pathway

Chronic psychological stress is increasingly recognized as a risk factor for cancer, but how the brain communicates with the immune system to promote tumors has remained unclear.

Exercise benefits people with chronic disease, but does the type matter?

A meta-analysis of 48 studies found that physical activity improved several chronic disease-related health indicators, particularly blood pressure, heart rate, and cardiorespiratory fitness, with significant benefits among people with hypertension and diabetes. Aerobic exercise had the strongest statistical evidence in the primary analysis, but no exercise type proved superior, and substantial variation between studies limited the certainty of the findings.

Oral leukemia therapy offers effective at-home care for older adults

For years, older patients with acute myeloid leukemia-an aggressive cancer of the blood and bone marrow-have needed clinic injections five to seven days a month, plus a daily oral pill. For these older patients, that clinic schedule can be quite demanding.

Blocking serotonin receptors makes eye cancer cells sensitive to drugs

By studying G protein–coupled receptor (GPCR) signaling in a range of uveal melanoma cell lines, Jenna Aumiller and colleagues have discovered a way to make these cells more sensitive to compounds that inhibit cancer-linked (or oncogenic) signaling pathways.
