New drug could extend the lives of breast cancer patients
LMU researchers have successfully tested a new drug which can significantly extend the lives of breast cancer patients.
Researchers Begin Developing Ovarian Cancer Vaccine
If successful, the vaccine could protect women against ovarian cancer, which only around half of women survive long-term at the moment.
Researchers reveal mechanisms of how CDK12 alterations drive prostate cancer development
When researchers at the University of Michigan Rogel Cancer Center first identified a new subtype of aggressive prostate cancer, they knew they needed to understand how this genetic alteration was driving cancer and how to target it with treatment.
CDFD research finds how fungal pathogen which kills 2.5 million people every year evades host immune cells
BRIC researchers discover how Candida glabrata evades immune cells, leading to potential novel therapies for fungal infections.
Study identifies ophthalmic acid as an alternative to dopamine in motor control
A research team from the University of California, Irvine is the first to reveal that a molecule in the brain – ophthalmic acid – unexpectedly acts like a neurotransmitter similar to dopamine in regulating motor function, offering a new therapeutic target for Parkinson's and other movement diseases.
Breakthrough blood test improves early diagnosis of pancreatic cancer
An experimental blood test detects early-stage pancreatic cancer more effectively than other available tests, reports a new study published in Cancer Letters.
Study identifies a new target for developing atrial fibrillation therapy
A new study by researchers at the University of Arizona College of Medicine – Phoenix and the University of California Davis Health identified a new target for developing a therapy to treat atrial fibrillation, the most common type of abnormal heart rhythm.
Everything you need to know about new cancer ‘vaccine’ as experts weigh in
A world-first cancer vaccine could be in the hands of those with genetic indicators in the next five years, thanks to the pandemic
New approach enhances radiation treatment for lung cancer brain metastases The ...
In new research, a team led by University of Cincinnati researchers has identified a potential new way to make radiation more effective and improve outcomes for patients with lung cancer that has spread to the brain.
Identical twins study uncovers insights into multiple sclerosis mechanisms
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory disease in which the immune system attacks the central nervous system.
World's first ovarian cancer vaccine 'could wipe out the disease'
The vaccine is being developed by the University of Oxford
World's first vaccine for ovarian cancer 'could wipe out the disease'
Scientists at the University of Oxford are creating OvarianVax, a vaccine which teaches the immune system to recognise and attack the earliest stages of ovarian cancer
Cancer Research UK backs study to develop preventive ovarian cancer vaccine
In this study, the Cancer Research UK-funded scientists will establish the targets for the vaccine. They will find out which proteins on the surface of early-stage ovarian cancer cells are most strongly recognized by the immune system and how effectively the vaccine kills mini-models of ovarian cancer called organoids.
Drug improves effectiveness of radiation for lung cancer that has spread to the brain
The University of Cincinnati's Debanjan Bhattacharya is first author of new research published in Cancers that found the drug AM-101 improves the effectiveness and survival rate of radiation treatment in animal models of lung cancer that has spread to the brain.
Multiple myeloma: Cilta-cel found highly effective in real-world study
A new study shows strong alignment between real-world outcomes and those seen in clinical trials among a broad population of patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. In the first study to report real-world outcomes from ciltacabtagene autoleucel (cilta-cel), a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T therapy for multiple myeloma, patients experienced efficacy and safety results similar to those seen in clinical trials, according to new results.
New therapeutic target for cardiac arrhythmias emerges
Researchers identified a lipid that is involved in regulating cardiac ion channels, providing insights into possible mechanisms of cardiac arrhythmias in heart failure and a potential pathway for future therapeutic development.
Research points to potential new treatment for aggressive prostate cancer subtype
Researchers describe the mechanisms of how alterations in the CDK12 gene drive prostate cancer development and report on a promising degrader that targets CDK12 and a related gene to destroy tumors.
Researchers boost natural defenses to fight cataracts and delay the need for surgery
Researchers have reviewed strategies to increase glutathione levels in the eye lens, focusing on endogenous molecular mechanisms to prevent cataracts by countering oxidative stress.
Role of ophthalmic acid in motor function control
A research team has revealed that a molecule in the brain -- ophthalmic acid -- unexpectedly acts like a neurotransmitter similar to dopamine in regulating motor function, offering a new therapeutic target for Parkinson's and other movement diseases.
Stem cell therapy to cure T1 diabetes? The Indian perspective
Cutting-edge stem cell therapy offers hope for a functional cure for Type 1 diabetes, but faces challenges in real-world application.
Stem cell transplants show promise for macular hole repair in monkeys
Human stem cell transplants successfully repaired macular holes in a monkey model, researchers report October 3rd in the journal Stem Cell Reports. After transplantation, the macular holes were closed by continuous filling of the space with retinal tissue.
