 Explainable AI could make breast cancer drug predictions safer and clearerExplainable AI could make breast cancer drug predictions safer and clearer
 
AI-driven genomic analysis could help researchers identify existing drugs that may be repurposed for subtype-specific breast cancer treatment. The review proposes an interpretability-driven framework that links multi-omics data, mechanistic validation, and clinical translation to make AI predictions more transparent and clinically useful.
 
 
 Scientists reveal why common pancreatic precancer lesions rarely turn deadlyScientists reveal why common pancreatic precancer lesions rarely turn deadly
 
Spatial and single-cell analyses of human donor pancreata showed that PanIN epithelial cells gradually acquire cancer-like molecular features, while their surrounding stromal and immune environment remains closer to normal pancreatic tissue. The findings suggest that delayed or incomplete microenvironmental reprogramming may help explain why most PanIN lesions remain indolent rather than progressing to pancreatic cancer.

A new research paper was published in Volume 13 of Oncoscience on April 2, 2026, titled "Selective blood–brain barrier penetration and tumor targeting of nitrosylcobalamin in glioblastoma: Pharmacokinetics, tissue distribution, and synergistic activity with trail and temozolomide."
 
   AI-engineered p53 superproteins may reshape future cancer therapiesAI-engineered p53 superproteins may reshape future cancer therapies
 
The Oncodarwinian Hypothesis (OdH) proposes a paradigm shift: cancer is not merely a disease but a potential macro‑immunoadaptive response – a self‑replicating algorithm that can be reprogrammed via AI‑based 3D printed p53 superproteins.
 
   New mRNA vaccine strategy dramatically amplifies cancer-fighting T cellsNew mRNA vaccine strategy dramatically amplifies cancer-fighting T cells
 
Engineers from the University of Houston, MIT and Harvard have developed a new mRNA-based strategy that dramatically amplifies the T-cell response to vaccines - an advance that could lead to far more powerful cancer vaccines and stronger protection against infectious diseases.
 
 Scientists uncover why genome guardian p53 protein is uniquely prone to collapse
 
Scientists uncover why genome guardian p53 protein is uniquely prone to collapseThe protein p53 is often called the guardian of the genome for its central role in preventing cancer. Yet paradoxically, it is also one of the most frequently mutated and dysfunctional proteins in human tumors.
 
 
 Sensory nerve signals found to block lung cancer immunotherapy
 
Sensory nerve signals found to block lung cancer immunotherapyResearchers at the Francis Crick Institute have revealed that sensory nerve signals interfere with the immune system's response to lung cancer.
 
 
 New advances improve prevention and treatment of HPV-related cancers
 
New advances improve prevention and treatment of HPV-related cancersA new review article is drawing attention to the growing global impact of human papillomavirus (HPV) and the rapid progress in vaccines and therapeutic strategies aimed at reducing the burden of cervical and non-cervical cancers.
 
 
 Study paves way for earlier pancreatic cancer diagnoses in patients with low-risk pancreatic cysts
 
Study paves way for earlier pancreatic cancer diagnoses in patients with low-risk pancreatic cystsCatching pancreatic cancer early can increase the five-year survival rate from 15% to 80%. Patients with pancreatic cysts, frequently detected during unrelated abdominal CT or MRI imaging, can develop malignant pancreatic cancers.
 
 
 New biomarker predicts therapy response for hard-to-treat childhood cancers
 
New biomarker predicts therapy response for hard-to-treat childhood cancersA study by researchers at the University of Birmingham has identified a new biomarker for response to a specific cancer therapy, treating children with Ewing Sarcoma and other tumor types.
 
 
 New gene expression signature may guide immunotherapy for resistant prostate cancer patients
 
New gene expression signature may guide immunotherapy for resistant prostate cancer patientsResearchers with the James P. Allison Institute™ at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have discovered a new gene expression signature within tumors that can help identify patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) who are more likely to experience lasting benefits from combined immunotherapy treatment.
 
 
 NTU Singapore scientists develop seed-sized robot for precision surgical procedures
 
NTU Singapore scientists develop seed-sized robot for precision surgical proceduresScientists from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) have developed a tiny seed-sized robot that can navigate across soft and uneven surfaces to perform five surgical functions wirelessly, paving the way for developing robots to make surgeries and medical treatments more precise.
 
 
 New peptide triggers domino effect to suppress bladder cancer
 
New peptide triggers domino effect to suppress bladder cancerRecently, a research team led by Professors Dahong Zhang and Qi Zhang from the Urology Department and the Institute of Urology at Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital and the Translational Medicine Center discovered that a bladder tumor-targeting polyarginine peptide, R11, can directly bind to actin, destabilize the G-actin tetramer, and trigger the cascade breakdown of the actin-plectin-vimentin/ITGβ4 axis (referred to as the "cytoskeletal...

Davis Joseph wins international award for revolutionary cancer treatment discoveryThe Sustainability through Science and Technology Summit 2025 (SIPS 2025), celebrating its 21st edition in Cebu, Philippines, from 17–20 November 2025, presented the 2025 Ciechanover International Biology Award to Davis Joseph.
 
 
 Researchers discover unexpected cellular triggers for precancerous pancreas lesions
 
In an unexpected finding, a new study flips on its head researchers' understanding of how precancerous pancreas lesions evolve into pancreatic cancer.
 
 
 Cytokine-armored CAR-T cell therapy successfully attacks aggressive brain tumors in mice
 
Scientists at the UCLA Health Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center have developed a new cytokine-armored CAR-T cell therapy that helps the immune system better attack aggressive brain tumors in mice while reducing dangerous side effects that have long limited immune-based treatments for glioblastoma, one of the deadliest and most treatment-resistant brain cancers.
 
 
 Excess EXO1 protein may drive cancer DNA damage and treatment response
 
When it comes to cancer, tumor suppressor genes are usually thought of as the "good guys." These genes make proteins that protect and repair DNA in cells.
