Cancer cells exploit an immune protein to evade treatment
Scientists tested several immunotherapy-resistant tumors and found that an evolutionary change in an immune protein makes humans more…
Body fat can predict mortality risk in young adults
Researchers showed that body fat percentage can predict long-term mortality in young adults better than body mass index or waist size.
Scientists use modified DNA to classify breast cancer
Researchers used DNA tags to divide an aggressive form of breast cancer into 2 major subtypes. They found these subtypes respond differently…
Scientists use bioactive glass to treat bone cancer
Researchers showed that bioactive glass administered with gallium oxide in the laboratory can reduce cancer cells and leave noncancerous…
Is there an optimal time of day to take cancer meds?
Scientists showed that some cancer medications work better when taken at a certain time of day. They suggested doctors combine optimal…
The future of 3D cell cultures in biomedical research
Microbiologists proposed that 3-dimensional artificial environments are the best way to study cell behavior and drug responses, although…
Cancers share DNA mutations that affect our genome
Researchers discovered regions of our DNA where mutations disrupt the structure of our genome and could promote growth in different types of…
Exercise boosts tumor-killing immune cells
Scientists showed that breast cancer patients who exercised for 30 minutes had more tumor-killing immune cells in their bloodstreams.
An interactive virtual assistant for cancer research
Scientists developed an Alexa-based virtual assistant to help researchers and clinicians understand and interpret cancer genome data.
