UC Riverside’s Groundbreaking Approach to Subdue MYC Proteins in 75% of Cancers
Researchers at the University of California – Riverside (UCR) have “tamed” the chaotic MYC proteins that promote and aggravate 75% of cancers. Their work, published in the Journal of …Oxygen Deprivation and Lung Cancer: The Deadly Link You Need to Know
Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most prevalent form of lung cancer. It often experiences hypoxia, which is a condition of oxygen deprivation. This lack of oxygen leads …Zolbetuximab Combined with Chemotherapy: A Breakthrough in Stomach Cancer Treatment with a 31% Reduction in Disease Progression Risk
Stomach cancer (gastric cancer), a malignancy originating from the stomach lining, remains a significant health concern in the US. In 2023, it’s estimated that 26,500 new cases will be …
Scientists Develop Smart Contact Lenses (ACSM-CL) That Can Diagnose Cancer
A team of researchers from the Terasaki Institute for Biomedical Innovation (TIBI) has created a contact lens that can collect tears and examine chemicals in them to diagnose cancer. …
Inhibiting the Enzyme G6PD Destroys Metastatic Ovarian Cancer Cells in the Omentum
A team from the Los Angeles-based Terasaki Institute for Biomedical Innovation has identified the key role of a metabolic enzyme in ovarian cancer metastasis. The enzyme, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD), …Artificial Intelligence Boosts Breast Tumor Detection Rates in Mammography Screening: Findings from a Swedish Study
Artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted mammography screening is safe and improves detection of breast tumors responsible for breast cancer. Millions of women undergo mammography screenings every year in the US. This …
Clinical Evaluation of Self-Replicating RNA and Anti-PD-1 Antibody in Advanced HER2+ Breast Cancer
In an effort to stimulate T cell and antibody responses against tumor-expressed antigens, numerous platforms like proteins, peptides, viral vectors, DNA plasmids, and RNA have been modified for use …New CAR-T Cell System Offers On-Off Capability For Safer, More Effective Cancer Therapy
Biomedical engineers at Boston University have developed a new system that could enable more potent use of CAR-T cells in the fight against cancer. CAR T-cell therapy is a …
