Researchers reveal new vulnerability in MYC-driven lymphomas

Walter and Eliza Hall Institute researchers have revealed a new vulnerability in lymphomas that are driven by one of the most common cancer-causing changes in cells.

Statistical modeling technique helps track tumor cell diversity

Cancer cells are a wily adversary. One reason the disease outfoxes many potential treatments is because of the diversity of the cancer cell population. Researchers have found this population difficult to characterize and quantify.

Global study shows long-term survival benefit for a subset of patients with advanced lung cancer

According to the results of a large, global study led by Yale Cancer Center researchers, even a tiny amount of a biomarker known as PD-L1 (programmed death-ligand1) can predict a long-term survival benefit from using pembrolizumab (Keytruda).

How does the intestine heal?

The intestine is an amazing organ in multiple ways, not least of which is its capacity to heal itself even when it is injured or damaged. Finally, a study by researchers at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, published in the journal Cell Stem Cell shows how intestinal stem cells keep their number constant to renew the intestinal lining as and when it is required.

Study exposes the Achilles' heel of deadly ccRCC tumors

An experimental drug already shown to be safe and help some patients with clear cell renal cell carcinoma, a deadly form of kidney cancer, effectively disables its molecular target.

New biomarkers for diagnosis and prognosis of lung cancer identified

Applying bioinformatics to resolve biological problems. This is the objective of the research group of the University of Malaga "BI4NEXT", which, in one of its latest studies, developed in the Supercomputing and Bioinnovation Center based on biobank samples, has identified new biomarkers for the diagnosis, prognosis and even treatment of lung cancer.

Researchers identify a protein that aids in colorectal cancer metastasis

A protein that helps colorectal cancer cells spread to other parts of the body could be an effective treatment target.

Researchers design new drug cocktail to kill brain and soft tissue cancers

Researchers at the USC Viterbi School of Engineering have designed a new drug cocktail that kills some types of brain and soft tissue cancers by tricking the cancer cells to behave as if they were starving for their favorite food--glucose.

New project aims to gain insights into bone metastasis in breast cancer patients

A new project just launched at Karl Landsteiner University of Health Sciences in Krems aims at gaining insights into the development of bone metastases in breast cancer patients and identifying biomarkers as well as new treatment strategies.

Scientists discover novel molecular pathway involved in immunotherapy response

Scientists at The Wistar Institute discovered a novel pathway that enables detection of DNA in the cytoplasm and triggers inflammation and cellular senescence.

Single gene cluster loss promotes initiation and progression of multiple myeloma in mice

The loss of one copy of the miR15a/miR16-1 gene cluster promoted initiation and progression of multiple myeloma in mice.

Both strands of microRNA cooperate to drive cancer growth and aggressiveness, research shows

Researchers long thought that only one strand of a double-stranded microRNA can silence genes. Though recent evidence has challenged that dogma, it's unclear what the other strand does, and how the two may be involved in cancer.

Cancer risk in psoriatic patients

A new study published in February 2020 in the journal JAMA Dermatology reports that there is a 21% increased risk of cancer in patients with psoriasis, but not with psoriatic arthritis alone.

First baby born from frozen immature eggs matured in the lab

Cancer can take a toll on a woman’s body, with many unable to conceive after rigorous treatments. In some cases, especially for women who have no children yet, they opt for egg cell freezing so they can still become pregnant after treatment. Now, for the first time, a woman has given birth to a baby from frozen immature eggs harvested from her five years ago.

Study uncovers factors linked with discontinuing breast cancer therapy

For women with hormone receptor-positive breast cancer, long-term endocrine therapy can greatly reduce the risk of recurrence. Many women, especially those in underserved populations, do not continue treatment, however.
