by German Cancer Research Center Credit: Unsplash/CC0 Public DomainScientists from the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) and Heidelberg University have investigated in mice how spreading tumor cells behave at the site of metastasis. Some tumor cells immediately start to form metastases. Others leave the blood vessel and may then enter a long period of dormancy. What...

Peer-Reviewed Publication UNIVERSITY OF BRISTOL A weight loss intervention in people with type 2 diabetes was found to alter levels of cancer-related proteins, according to the findings of a new University of Bristol-led study. The study, published in eBioMedicine, is the first to show that weight loss in people recently diagnosed with diabetes can change...
POSTED BY TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY“From the medical point of view, when this technique is available, it will be beneficial and less expensive than methods such as photothermal therapy, photodynamics, radio-radiation, and chemotherapy,” says Jorge Seminario. A new technique could offer a much safer and more effective alternative to current cancer treatments. Just as jackhammers can...
