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.

Selfish chromosomes hijack Overdrive gene to eliminate rival sperm

A new University of Utah-led study has discovered the mechanism behind a decades-old evolutionary mystery-how "selfish chromosomes" cheat the rules of genetic inheritance.

Vitamin B2 metabolism helps cancer cells resist ferroptosis

A lack of vitamin B2 makes tumour cells more susceptible to a unique form of cell death. This was discovered by researchers at the Rudolf Virchow Centre at the University of Würzburg.

Exercise during chemotherapy supports physical and cognitive health

Researchers recommended a tailored, scientifically validated exercise program to individuals receiving chemotherapy for cancer, and those who were on a two-week chemotherapy schedule and followed the exercise prescription were able to maintain their walking-step goals, use resistance bands, and stay mentally sharper compared to patients who did not exercise.

FDA-approved drug fedratinib enhances communication between cellular organelles

Cells behave like cities and organelles carry out infrastructural roles: Mitochondria are powerhouses, the endoplasmic reticulum serves as a transport hub and lysosomes help with waste disposal.

New insights highlight multifaceted roles of CD4+ T cells in tumor immunity

For decades, cancer immunotherapy has focused primarily on CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes as the main executors of tumor cell killing.

Updated guideline emphasizes earlier treatment for high cholesterol

The American College of Cardiology (ACC), the American Heart Association and nine other leading medical associations, today issued an updated guideline for the management of dyslipidemia-abnormal levels of one or more types of lipids or lipoproteins in the blood, including cholesterol and triglycerides.

SonoPIN technology boosts intracellular delivery of large cancer drugs

Engineers at Duke University have demonstrated a technique that uses microbubbles and ultrasound to help relatively large cancer drugs enter tumor cells and cause them to self-destruct.

New method creates longer lasting CAR T cells for cancer therapy

A research team led by Albert Einstein College of Medicine scientists has developed a new strategy to engineer immune cells that dramatically prolongs their effectiveness after being infused into patients to fight cancer and HIV, addressing a major limitation of current treatments.

Combined CDK4/6 and EGFR inhibition improves pancreatic cancer therapy

Clinically available KRAS inhibitors mainly target G12C, which is rare in PDAC and often acquires resistance. Oncogenic KRAS inactivates RB1 via CDK4/6, while RB1 mutation is rare.
