Immunotherapy Eliminates Disease-Causing Cells in Mice with MS-like Disease The cancer therapy known as CAR-T has revolutionized treatment of some blood cancers since it was introduced in 2017. The therapy uses genetically altered immune cells to home in on cancer cells and destroy them. Read more...
Vaccine Shown to Prolong Life of Patients With Aggressive Brain Cancer The world’s first vaccine to treat deadly cancerous brain tumours can potentially give patients years of extra life, a global clinical trial has concluded. Read more...
How Bioinformatics Can Be Used To Develop Precision Cancer Therapies Cancer is one of the most ubiquitous, impactful and challenging diseases. It affects every person, whether personally or through family members. Curing cancer has become one of the goals of modern society and precision medicine is one of the advances
Using Artificial Intelligence In Cancer Genome Research Researchers from the Institute of Medical Science at the University of Tokyo (IMSUT) and Fujitsu Research are using artificial intelligence (AI)-powered language processing technology to create a knowledge database of 860,000 medical papers. The research team says this technology reduces the time to
Cancer Cells Aren’t Purposefully Wasting Glucose, They’re Consuming It Too Quickly A new study by researchers at Washington University in St. Louis School of Medicine has shed light on why cancer cells consume excessive amounts of glucose, but do not always metabolize it efficiently. The research is published in Molecular
Israeli Scientists Develop AI to Treat Cancer An artificial-intelligence algorithm to identify a group of “point mutations” that cause cancer in TP53 – a gene involved in about half of all cancerous tumors – has been developed for the first time in the world by a group of researchers at
Scientists Develop 'Off the Shelf' Engineered Stem Cells to Treat Aggressive Brain Cancer Glioblastomas (GBMs) are highly aggressive cancerous tumors of the brain and spinal cord. Brain cancers like GBM are challenging to treat because many cancer therapeutics cannot pass through the blood-brain barrier, and more than 90 percent of
Nanoparticles Are the Future of Medicine – Researchers Are Experimenting With New Ways to Design Tiny Particle Treatments for Cancer When you hear the word “nanomedicine,” it might call to mind scenarios like those in the 1966 movie “Fantastic Voyage.” The film portrays a medical team shrunken down to ride
Novel Treatment Makes Pancreatic Cancer Susceptible to Immunotherapy, Mouse Study Shows Pancreatic cancer is one of the most aggressive and deadly tumor types and notorious for its resistance to virtually all types of treatment, including newer immunotherapies. Read more...
FDA Approves Second CAR-T Cancer Therapy to Treat Multiple Myeloma, Opening the Door for Greater Access The Food and Drug Administration on Monday approved a new CAR-T therapy for multiple myeloma, a move that could ease strain on limited supplies of potentially lifesaving cancer therapies.
