Test predicts response to treatment for complication of leukemia stem cell...
Patients with fatal blood cancers like leukemia often require allogenic stem cell SCT to survive. Donor stem cells are transplanted to a recipient, but not without the risk of developing GVHD, a...
View ArticleResearchers map paths to cancer drug resistance — ScienceDaily
By mapping the specific steps that cells of melanoma, breast cancer and a blood cancer called myelofibrosis use to become resistant to drugs, the researchers now have much better targets for blocking...
View ArticleThis Endoscope Zaps Tumors
It may soon serve another purpose: zapping tumors. The biomedical advancement, which is under development at the University at Buffalo, could make chemotherapy more efficient, reduce its side effects...
View ArticleScientists zero in on how lung cancer spreads
The researchers at the Cancer Research UK Manchester Institute discovered that the ties which lash cells together -- controlled by a protein called TIAM1 -- are chopped up when cell maintenance work...
View ArticleEgg and sperm race: Scientists create precursors to human egg and sperm
When an egg cell is fertilised by a sperm, it begins to divide into a cluster of cells known as a blastocyst, the early stage of the embryo. Within this ball of cells, some cells form the inner cell...
View ArticleRisk for leukemia after treatment for early-stage breast cancer higher than...
The study team reviewed data on 20,063 breast cancer patients treated at eight U.S. cancer centers between 1998 and 2007 whose cancer recurrence and secondary cancer rates were recorded in a database...
View ArticleRare cancer’s genetic pathway identified by scientists
SFU molecular biology and biochemistry professor Jack (Nansheng) Chen and three of his lab members collaborated with Chinese researchers to identify how these mutations affect genes and signalling...
View ArticleCancer-causing mutation discovered in 1982 finally target of clinical trials
"We didn't initially discover the gene. But now technology lets us find the gene in actual patient samples and drugs are available to target these gene rearrangements, making it possible to treat TRK...
View ArticleCancer treatment potential discovered in gene repair mechanism
If the laboratory findings are supported by tests in animal models, the breakthrough could hold the promise of increasing the effectiveness of radiation and chemotherapy in shrinking or even...
