A cancer-targeting antibody that helps the body’s immune cells spot and destroy hard-to-treat tumors such as triple-negative breast cancer has been developed by researchers.
Scientists at The University of Texas at El Paso have found a promising new target in the fight against high-grade serous carcinoma, an aggressive form of ovarian cancer. Less than 50% of women survive five years after diagnosis, according to the team.
Small, cancer-associated DNA circles “hitchhike” on chromosomes during cell division to spread efficiently to daughter cells by co-opting a process used to maintain cellular identity through generations, Stanford Medicine-led research has found.
One of the hallmarks of cancer cells is their ability to evade apoptosis, or programmed cell death, through changes in protein expression.
Bacteria may be the next frontier in cancer treatment, according to a team led by researchers at Penn State that devised a new approach of creating bacteria-derived mixtures—or cocktails—to help fight bladder cancer.
