Image-Guided Surgery in Cancer: A Strategy to Reduce the Incidence of Positive Surgical Margins
Research into how to better visualize tumor cells during surgery is underway, with a hope of limiting the occurrence of positive surgical margins.
The Devil Fights Back: How the Tasmanian Devil Adapts to Transmissible Cancer
In their review in BioEssays, Beata Ujvari and colleagues review how the transmissible cancer termed ‘devil facial tumor disease’ affects life history adaptations in Tasmanian devils.
Early Detection of Lung Cancer Volatile Organic Compound by Surface Enhancement Raman Spectra (SERS)
A biosensor based on SERS to detect lung cancer volatile organic compound (VOC) from exhaled breath.
Cancer Metastasis Put Under the Microscope
The process of metastasis, in which cancer cells migrate to distant organs from the primary tumor region, is the key pathological event responsible for 90% of all of the cancer-related deaths. The critical early steps of the metastatic cascade of events, namely...
Synthetic Cells Gain the Upper Hand Against Cancer
Synthetic cells that function as autonomous systems for producing an anti-cancer protein inside the body are developed.
Targeted, ROS-Promoted Nanomedicine for Cancer Treatment
A novel reactive oxygen species (ROS)-promoted nanomedicine platform can effectively inhibit tumor growth, reduce side effects experienced in common anticancer drugs, while promote on-target uptake.
Immunoengineering with Biomaterials for Enhanced Cancer Immunotherapy
Biomaterials are engineered to improve the safety and efficacy of current cancer immunotherapies.
MicroRNAs and RNA Editing: Roles in Cancer Initiation and Progression
A study on the mechanisms and effects of RNA and microRNA editing on the initiation and progression of cancer.
