Reducing vitamin B5 slows breast cancer growth in mice
by The Francis Crick Institute Credit: CC0 Public Domain A group of researchers led by the Francis Crick Institute, working with the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) and Imperial College London, have discovered that breast cancer cells expressing a cancer-driving gene heavily rely on vitamin B5 to grow and survive. The researchers are part of Cancer...
Nanoparticles Deliver Treatment Directly to Tumors of Deadly Brain Cancer
November 01, 2023 by William Weir Using nanoparticles administered directly into the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), a research team has developed a treatment that may overcome significant challenges in treating a particularly deadly brain cancer. The researchers, led by professors Mark Saltzman, PhD, and Ranjit Bindra, MD, PhD, administered to mice with medulloblastoma a treatment that...
Innovative antibody approach targets deep-seated cancer mutations
by Duke University Credit: Unsplash/CC0 Public Domain For too long, cancer treatment has been a double-edged sword—the very treatments designed to kill cancer cells often wrought havoc on healthy ones too. But a new study published online Oct. 30 in Immunity unveils an approach to cancer treatment that researchers describe as more precise, long-lasting, and less...

No Link Between Most Cancers and Depression/Anxiety: Study
Sharon Worcester, MA August 29, 2023 Depression and anxiety were not associated with outcomes for most cancer types, including breast cancer, prostate cancer, and alcohol-related cancer, according to findings from a large, individual participant data meta-analysis. An exception was for lung and smoking-related cancers, but key covariates appeared to explain the relationship between depression, anxiety, and these...
