Many biopsies may soon be avoidable with the advent of an accurate biosensor for prostate cancer that detects biomarkers in the blood.
Cancer therapy
What characteristics help tumor cells spread?
Research uncovers how tumor cells’ stem cell-like qualities and their ability to evade the immune system helps some cancers spread during metastasis.
Rewired mitochondria to help the immune system fight cancer
How manipulating electron flow through cells’ mitochondria could help enhance immunotherapy.
How CRISPR and chemotherapy are joining forces to combat tumors
A new approach to cancer treatment combines gene editing with a known chemotherapy drug, harnessing the benefits of both for better outcomes.
A new, simple test enables early detection of ovarian cancer
Scientists are hopeful that a new, more sensitive test for detecting ovarian cancer might provide better options, especially for patients with BRCA genes.
Unlocking personalized leukemia therapy using epigenetic biomarkers
A specific epigenetic signature in patients who respond to chemotherapy offers potential to improve treatment.
Bacteria found in tumors could prove a potent anticancer tool
Bacteria residing inside tumors provide a surprisingly powerful immunotherapy platform to combat different cancers.
Using bacterial infections to help treat brain tumors
Inspired by brain-invading bacteria, researchers have created nanocapsules that covertly shuttle drugs across the blood–brain barrier.
Molecular dye plays “tag” with chemotherapy drugs
A new hydrogel platform helps monitor chemotherapies in the body in real-time, allowing their side effects and potency to be better understood.
Nanoparticles that self-assemble inside cells to fight cancer
This nanoparticle cancer therapy hijacks biological processes to target cancer cells and destroy them with self-assembling components.
