Certain blood cancers may be triggered by signals sent from surrounding bone cells, not by individual cells going bad, and interrupting those signals may offer a new approach to treating leukemia, US researchers said.
“Cancer is generally thought to be a single cell going rogue. It does so by accumulating a series of genetic injuries,” said [...]

Washington, March 19 (ANI): Reports indicate that University of Florida engineering researchers have found they can ignite certain nanoparticles using a low-power laser, a development they say opens the door to a wave of new technologies in health care, computing and automotive design.
According to researchers Vijay Krishna, Nathanael Stevens, Ben Koopman and Brij Moudgil, they [...]

Washington, March 17 (ANI): Scientists at the University of California, San Francisco researchers have found that a key cellular defect that disturbs the production of proteins in human cells can lead to cancer susceptibility.
They also discovered that a new generation of inhibitory drugs offers promise in correcting this defect.
According to researchers, their finding has broad [...]

London, Mar 17 (ANI): A safe, non-surgical cure for breast cancer has been offered in the form of a method that includes freezing tumors with streams of super-cold gas, say researchers.
The “ice-ball” created around a tumour by the jabs not only kills it off but also cuts the recurrence risk, reports The Daily Express.
In a [...]

Washington, March 16 (ANI): Previous studies have shown that obesity is linked to cancer. Now, a researcher is on his way to understand the correlation.
University of Alberta researcher Richard Lamb is studying a cell pathway in the human body that regulates cell growth.
In their most recent work, Lamb and his colleagues have found that this [...]

Washington, September 18 (ANI): US researchers may have moved a step further towards gaining a deeper understanding of the role of stem cells in liver cancer.

A team of experts from Penn State College of Medicine and the University of Southern California used a unique approach [...]

Washington, Sept 16 (ANI): Adding flaxseeds to juices, salads or pancake batter can help ward off prostate cancer, say experts.

“It’s the omega 3 fatty acids and the lignan present in flaxseed that led us to look at flaxseed’s prostate cancer prevention properties,” said Dr Wendy Demark-Wahnefried, professor of behavioral science at M. D. Anderson and [...]

London, Sept 16 (ANI): A promising pill may be able to treat more types of cancer than first thought, according to researchers.

The wonder pill can tackle five other forms of the disease – prostate, skin, ovarian, bowel and womb cancer, say scientists.

As per lab tests, the drug targets cancer cells while leaving healthy cells relatively [...]

Washington, Sept 15 (ANI): A popular diabetes drug called metformin has been found to be effective in fighting breast cancer.

The findings of the study from Harvard Medical School showed that metformin, along with conventional chemotherapy, shows promise for treating and delaying recurrence of breast cancer.

“We have found a compound selective for cancer stem cells,” [...]

Washington, Sep 9 (ANI): An over-expressed protein can convert active but non-invasive breast cancer into a different cell type, and thereby turn it into invasive breast cancer, according to scientists at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center.

The researchers say that overexpression of the protein 14-3-3? (zeta) launches a molecular cascade that removes [...]

Washington, Sep 9 (ANI): A lung cancer oncogene, called PKCiota, is necessary for the proliferation of lung cancer stem cells, and turning it off could act as a key for the treatment of this deadly disease, according to scientists at the Mayo Clinic campus in Florida.

These stem cells are rare and powerful master cells that [...]

Washington, September 4 (ANI): American scientists have discovered a protein’s “Jekyll and Hyde” role in cancer development.

While the protein called FOXO3a is thought to protect against cancer development, researchers from [...]

Washington, August 21 (ANI): Chemotherapy that is more effective and has fewer side effects may be around the corner, for researchers at the University of Toronto Mississauga have devised a way to split up a dangerous pair of cancer proteins.

The breakthrough work was [...]

Washington, August 20 (ANI): Scientists in America have developed a way to target brain cancer cells using inorganic titanium dioxide nanoparticles bonded to soft biological material.

This achievement is a result of the joint efforts of scientists from the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) and the University of Chicago’s Brain Tumor Center.

Thousands of people die [...]

Washington, Aug 20 (ANI): A new study has cast doubt on the cancer-fighting power of antioxidants- found in many vegetables and whole grains – by showing that they can also help cancer cells to survive and thrive in some situations.

Antioxidants have previously been found to prevent the formation of tumours by preventing free radicals, or [...]

Washington, August 18 (ANI): A single cell’s behaviour during the development of the reproductive tract in the C. elegans worm is providing scientists with significant insights into cancer’s deadly ability to put down roots in new tissues after spreading throughout the body, say researchers.

David Sherwood, a Duke University biologist, has spent several years studying the [...]

Washington, July 11 (ANI): A team of scientists is exploring the length and breadth of Panama in search of exotic molecules that could one day lead to new treatments for human diseases like cancer, malaria and dengue fever.

The team is being led by William Gerwick from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC (University of [...]

Washington, July 7 (ANI): A scientist at Purdue University has found a key protein process that can lead to the formation of tumours.

Xiaoqi Liu, an assistant professor of Biochemistry, has claimed that an overabundance of the polo-like kinase 1 (Plk1) molecule during cell growth, [...]

London, July 2 (ANI): Making a huge breakthrough in cancer research, scientists have developed a revolutionary non-invasive treatment that uses sound waves to blast prostate cancer.

In a trial at University College Hospital and the private Princess Grace Hospital, [...]
