Promoting gamma delta T cell response could be an effective strategy for treating advanced ovarian cancer, according to research by an international team from Karolinska Institutet, Menoufia University in Egypt, and the Royal ...
New research into one of the most common and difficult cancers to treat has revealed an effective route to mitigating chemotherapy resistance through the use of a drug already approved by the FDA to treat diarrhea. The findings ...
Many big pharma companies were able to roll out vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 in record time by retooling their existing experimental mRNA gene therapies to carry a new payload. Whereas these cancer vaccines originally coded ...
Insofar as the war on cancer used to be fought by surgical strikes, chemical warfare and nuclear bombardment, today's and tomorrow's cancer battles are fought through information warfare. The treatment of blood cancers, in ...
The growth of solid tumors is frequently driven by mutations in key proto-oncogenes. For non-small-cell lung cancers (NSCLC), somatic mutations in the KRAS (Kirsten RAt Sarcoma virus) gene turn it into an oncogene that renders ...
Toxins, radiation, and normal metabolic processes together generate molecular lesions in every one of our cells to the tune of 10,000 to 1,000,000 hits per day. Fortunately, most of these code faults are immediately patched ...
NRF2 is just one of thousands of critical proteins in the cell, but it is one that we now know a lot about. Once any molecule achieves a certain level of celebrity status, it tends to acquire a groupie following in the supplement ...
New research that is examining the "tumor microenvironment" reveals not only how macrophages can become extraordinary turncoats but also how they can actively support tumor growth and metastatic progression in certain forms ...
DNA usually forms the classic double helix shape discovered in 1953—two strands wound around each other. Several other structures have been formed in test tubes, but this does not necessarily mean they form within living ...
