In study, targeted delivery shrinks brain, breast tumors in micePeer-Reviewed Publication Ohio State University COLUMBUS, Ohio – Researchers are shining a light on cancer cells’ energy centers – literally – to damage these power sources and trigger widespread cancer cell death. In a new study, scientists combined strategies to deliver energy-disrupting gene therapy using nanoparticles...

Researchers uncover new understanding of cancer cell telomere survival mechanisms
by Case Western Reserve University Human chromosomes (grey) are capped by telomeres (white). Credit: PD-NASA; PD-USGOV-NASA Research published in Science Signaling identifies new ways that telomeres regulate the aggressiveness and survival of tumors, making them potentially vulnerable therapeutic targets for killing cancer. The discovery was made by a team of researchers at Case Comprehensive Cancer Center and Case Western Reserve School...

A Stunning 3-D Journey inside a Cancer Cell
By Leslie Nemo on January 29, 2021 Open Compilation of 3-D color-projection photographs of a cancer cell highlights its internal structures. The photography technique used to capture these images, called Z stacking, helps researchers see the contents of cells and where each part lies in relation to the others. Credit: Dylan T.

Research explores how melanoma grows and spreads
by Texas A&M University Melanoma in skin biopsy with H&E stain — this case may represent superficial spreading melanoma. Credit: Wikipedia/CC BY-SA 3.0 The first step in treating cancer is understanding how it starts, grows and spreads throughout the body. A relatively new cancer research approach is the study of metabolites, the products of different steps...

Research points to new effective breast cancer treatment
by Diamond Light Source Crystal structure of LMTK3 – graphic adapted from Science Advances Paper see paper DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.abc3099 for full description. An international study led by scientists at the University of Sussex has provided strong evidence for an effective new target for breast cancer treatment. The five-year study, called “The structure-function relationship of oncogenic LMTK3,”...

Bench Scientists Discover a New T-cell
Posted by Kathleen Hoffman Something unusual happened when Professor Andrew Sewell and the T-Cell Modulation Group at the University of Cardiff put the blood of a healthy donor in a petri dish with some cancer cells. What grew in the blood was a T-cell that no one had seen before. This T-cell attacked the cancer cells...
