Researchers have discovered a new pathway used by cancer cells to infiltrate the brain and developed a promising therapy that targets this pathway with CAR T cells. Their study showed significant preclinical success in increasing survival and eradicating tumors in animal models of glioblastoma and other brain cancers. A team...

Brain Cancer Breakthrough: New Therapy Destroys Glioblastoma in Recently Unveiled Pathway

Researchers at the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG), the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU), Donostia International Physics Center (DIPC) and the Fundación Biofisica Bizkaia (FBB, located in Biofisika Institute) have developed an artificial intelligence which can differentiate cancer cells from normal cells, as well as detect the very early stages of viral infection inside cells. The findings, published today in a study in the journal Nature Machine Intelligence, pave the way for improved diagnostic techniques and new monitoring strategies for disease.

Every time Aaron Agler recovered from a sinus infection, it returned. Time after time he visited his doctor for antibiotics, but the infection always came back. “It got to the point where the doctor was like, ‘OK, no more antibiotics. Something else is going on here,’” Danielle Styer, 31, of Cortland, Ohio, tells TODAY.com. Agler’s various treatment makes it difficult for his voice to carry so Styer, Agler's girlfriend, answers questions for him. “When he looked in his mouth … it looked like the roof of his mouth was heavy, like pushing down.”

 A new vaccine designed to prime the immune system to recognise and fight lung cancer has been tested on UK patients for the first time.Researchers leading the trial have said that BioNTech’s BNT116 vaccine could improve survival rates among people with the disease, and hope that it could eventually become the standard of care worldwide.It works by presenting the immune system with tumour markers from non-small cell lung cancer, the most common form of the disease, to prime the body to fight cancer cells expressing these markers.“Lung cancer is a disease that occurs when cells in the lungs grow...

When lung cancer spreads beyond the lungs, it usually first affects nearby lymph nodes. But doctors don’t usually consider lung cancer to be “metastatic” until it has spread to more distant parts of the body. Lung cancer can spread throughout the body in several ways. Cancerous cells...

Medically reviewed by Christopher Lee, MDMedically reviewed by Christopher Lee, MDHeart cancer develops when abnormal cells in the heart muscle or surrounding tissues grow uncontrollably, forming a malignant (cancerous) tumor. Cancerous heart tumors (known as cardiac sarcomas) are extremely rare, accounting for less than 0.028% of all cancer diagnoses annually.  Secondary heart cancer is when cancer cells metastasize (spread) to the heart from a tumor that started in nearby organs or body tissues. Secondary heart cancer is about 30 to 50 times more common than primary heart cancer. However, it is still rare, affecting approximately 10% of people with lung cancer,...

Adrenal cancer is a rare but serious condition that affects the adrenal glands, which sit atop your kidneys. These glands produce hormones that regulate metabolism, immune system, blood pressure, and other essential functions. Adrenal cancer can disrupt these processes, leading to a variety of symptoms and complications. Understanding this disease is crucial for early detection and treatment. In this post, we'll share 25 facts about adrenal cancer to help you grasp its impact, symptoms, and treatment options. From the basics of what adrenal glands do to the latest advancements in medical research, you'll gain a comprehensive overview of this challenging condition.

This year’s area of low oxygen in the Gulf of Mexico is larger than average, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) announced on Thursday. The “dead zone” is approximately 6,705 square miles , as measured last week. Within NOAA’s 38 years of measuring the dead zone, this year’s assessment marks the 12th-largest area of low to no oxygen, which can kill fish and marine life.

According to the research, these mitochondrial DNA insertions could be linked to early death. Mitochondria in brain cells frequently insert their DNA into the nucleus, potentially impacting lifespan, as those with more insertions were found to die earlier. Stress appears to accelerate this process, suggesting a new way mitochondria influence health beyond energy production.

When it comes to treating non-Hodgkin lymphoma, bispecific antibodies are a unique targeted therapy that essentially attack cancer on two fronts — and recent approvals mean more patients have access.

Bispecific Antibodies for Lymphoma: What Does the Future Look Like for the Promising Targeted Therapy?

Genome Medicine volume 16, Article number: 107 (2024) Cite this article. Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 and 2 (PARP1/2) inhibitors (PARPi) are targeted therapies approved for homologous recombination repair (HRR)-deficient breast, ovarian, pancreatic, and prostate cancers. Since inhibition of PARP1 is sufficient to cause synthetic lethality in tumors with homologous recombination deficiency (HRD), PARP1 selective inhibitors such as saruparib (AZD5305) are being developed. It is expected that selective PARP1 inhibition leads to a safer profile that facilitates its combination with other DNA damage repair inhibitors. Here, we aimed to characterize the antitumor activity of AZD5305 in patient-derived preclinical models compared to the first-generation PARP1/2 inhibitor olaparib and to identify mechanisms of resistance.
