Researchers to develop brain imaging radiotracers for better understanding of Alzheimer's, autism

Emory researchers are on the cusp of seeing in real time how brain diseases like Alzheimer's and autism spectrum disorder affect a patient's brain function.

Combination of ultrasound and nanobubbles enables the removal of tumors without surgery

A new technology developed at Tel Aviv University makes it possible to destroy cancerous tumors in a targeted manner, via a combination of ultrasound and the injection of nanobubbles into the bloodstream.

Molecular motion of many 'undruggable' proteins reveals previously unseen binding sites

Studying the molecular motion of proteins reveals previously unseen binding sites that could be targeted by new drug candidate molecules.

Evaluating cell-free DNA-based blood tests for early detection of multiple cancers

Researchers assessed several approaches for a circulating cell-free deoxyribonucleic acid (cfDNA)-based multi-cancer early detection (MCED) test. Defining the clinical limit of detection (LOD) based on circulating tumor allele fraction (cTAF) enables the comparison of different approaches.

Exercise may make radiotherapy more tolerable for breast cancer patients

Breast cancer is the most common form of the disease among women; in Australia, one in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer by the age of 85.

Patient mistrust and poor access hamper federal efforts to overhaul family planning

Two years ago, after an emergency cesarean section at a Mississippi hospital, Sherika Trader was denied a tubal ligation. Trader, now 33, was told that to have her tubes tied, she had to have a second child or a husband's permission, even though she wasn't married.

Tackling Antimicrobial Resistance; A Conversation with the World Health Organisation

For World Antimicrobial Awareness Week (WAAW), we speak to Silvia Bertagnolio from the WHO, about the importance of raising awareness of antimicrobial resistance.

CAR T-cell therapy in colorectal cancer

Researchers assessed the efficacy of CAR T-cells in the immunotherapy of colorectal cancer.

MIT researchers develop new technique for genome-wide studies of the liver

The liver’s ability to regenerate itself is legendary. Even if more than 70 percent of the organ is removed, the remaining tissue can regrow an entire new liver.

Study provides a more accurate tool to stratify patients with HER2-positive breast cancer

Patients with a type of breast cancer called HER2-positive are less likely to survive if their initial treatment fails to eradicate the tumor completely and they have high levels of immune cells called tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes in the residual disease.

The role of bacteria in cancer growth

Tumor-associated microbiota is an important component of the tumor microenvironment (TME) across 33 types of human cancer. However, little evidence is available regarding the spatial distribution and localization of these microbes in tumor cells.

Caregivers’ coping strategies affect their level of distress and quality of life

November is Caregiver Awareness Month, and timely findings from a study published in Blood Advances suggest that, among caregivers of patients undergoing a stem cell transplant, how someone approaches coping can influence their levels of anxiety, depression, and poor quality of life (QOL) they experience.

Why we should all eat Kimchi and other Korean fermented foods

A recent study reviews various traditional Korean fermented foods for their various health benefits.

Dietary change could be a key to enhancing colon cancer treatment

A dietary change could be a key to enhancing colon cancer treatment, a new study from the University of Michigan Rogel Cancer Center finds.

Researchers uncover new therapeutic vulnerability in endocrine therapy-resistant breast cancers

For patients with estrogen receptor (ER)-positive breast cancer, development of the so-called Y537S mutation signals that their disease has taken an aggressive course and may become resistant to endocrine therapy.

20 Nov 2022

Study reveals mechanism by which malignant cells shut down anti-cancer immune responses

A Ludwig Cancer Research study has revealed a single protein expressed at high levels by cancer cells across a broad range of malignancies that erects a multifaceted barrier to anti-cancer immune responses in mouse models of cancer and so shields tumors from immune detection and destruction.
