Key mechanism behind tumour formation identified
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, [...]
New biomarkers of melanoma identified
Washington, June 30 (ANI): Scientists from Yale University have identified new biomarkers that will help develop more effective treatment strategies to fight melanoma, the most serious form of skin cancer.
The research team has mapped chemical modifications of DNA in the melanoma genome that will open new avenues for developing improved therapies.
In addition to mutations to [...]
New ovarian transplant technique offers hope to infertile
Washington, June 30 (ANI): French doctors have unveiled a new technique for transplanting the ovaries of women who have lost their fertility as a result of cancer treatment.
The technique, described by Pascal Piver of the Limoges University Hospital in [...]
New ‘minicell therapy’ to crash cancer resistance
London, June 29 (ANI): Aussie scientists have developed a new therapy that uses minicells to deliver cancer drugs, in order to prevent resistance in cancer cells.
The researchers are confident that the breakthrough could pave way for cheaper cancer treatments with fewer side effects.
While experimenting on mice, the researchers used minicells to deliver cancer drugs to [...]
Personalised cancer treatment comes closer to reality
London, Apr 20 (ANI): Researchers have taken a step forward to bringing personalized cancer therapy within reach by using molecular profiling of the patients that can help identify specific treatments.
The study shows that molecular profiling of patients can identify [...]
Homeopathic meds may help relieve cancer therapy’s side effects
Washington, Apr 15 (ANI): Drugs and radiotherapy given to fight cancer can lead to nausea and vomiting, mouth sores and dermatitis. Now, Cochrane Researchers claim that homeopathic medicines can help reduce these unpleasant side effects.
In a systematic review of randomised controlled trials, scientists examined recent evidence for the safety and effectiveness of homeopathic medicines used [...]
Viruses engineered to target only cancer cells cure mice sans side effects
Washington, October 27 : Mayo Clinic researchers have come up with a method of controlling the viruses behind potential cancer therapeutics, so that they will not damage healthy tissues.
The researchers believe that such viruses can be restricted to specific tissues by engineering the virus’’s genetic sequence with the aid of microRNAs.
They say that the microRNAs [...]
