Bringing cancer medication safely to its destination
Treating cancer more selectively and more effectively — this could be achieved with an innovative technology developed by teams of…
Low doses of radiation promote cancer-capable cells: New research in mice helps to understand the risks around exposure to low doses of radiation, such as CT scans and X-rays
Low doses of radiation equivalent to three CT scans, which are considered safe, give cancer-capable cells a competitive advantage over…
Cancer genes and the tumor milieu
The tumor microenvironment (TME) is a mix of fluids, immune cells and blood vessels which envelops the tumors. Interactions between…
Nutritional cues regulate pancreatic tumor’s ‘cell drinking’
Desperate for nutrients, rapidly growing pancreatic tumors resort to scavenging “fuel” through an alternative supply route, called macropinocytosis. Scientists are…
Yogurt may help to lower pre-cancerous bowel growth risk in men: Observed association strongest for growths highly likely to become cancerous
Eating two or more weekly servings of yogurt may help to lower the risk of developing the abnormal growths (adenomas)…
A molecular glue to overcome cancer drug resistance? Small molecule drug may prevent chemotherapy resistance
Scientists have discovered a small molecule drug that may stop cancer cells from becoming resistant to chemotherapy. Drug resistance is…
E171: food additive destroys the intestines and promotes bowel cancer – but no Verbotin point of view!
Widely used additive is much more dangerous than previously thought! In processed foods the food additive E171 (titanium dioxide) is…
Cancer-killing combination therapies unveiled with new drug-screening tool: Method IDs which targeted therapies, inadequate on their own, can be paired up to kill non-responsive cancers
UC San Francisco scientists have designed a large-scale screen that efficiently identifies drugs that are potent cancer-killers when combined, but…
Cutting the standard dose of medication for acute mountain sickness in half does not reduce its effectiveness
A new study published in Wilderness & Environmental Medicine demonstrated that trekkers and climbers taking a lower dose of acetazolamide…
