It is well known that exposure to high-molecular weight polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons increases cancer risk, leading to regulation of compounds like benzo(a)pyrene....NEWS MEDICAL · 6 days
The Lung Cancer Master Protocol, the first precision medicine trial in lung cancer supported by the National Cancer Institute, part of the National Institutes of Health,... more
Cancer biologists have discovered a mechanism that lung tumors exploit to promote their own survival: The tumors alter bacterial populations within the lung, provoking the immune system to create an inflammatory environment that in... more
Researchers have used human embryonic stem cells to create a new model system that allows them to study the initiation and progression of small cell lung... more
A team of scientists has developed a new technique that could create a highly sensitive graphene biosensor with the capability to detect molecules of the most common lung cancer biomarkers. more
In the largest study to date on phthalates and postmenopausal breast cancer, a University of Massachusetts Amherst cancer epidemiology researcher found no association between... more
Results from a study published in the journal Cancer Medicine show that a pragmatic system-based intervention within cancer treatment centers can eliminate existing disparities... more
A research team has identified interaction between two elements of the immune system as critical for the transformation of a protective immune response into chronic, cancer-promoting inflammation. more
A Massachusetts General Hospital research team has identified interaction between two elements of the immune system as critical for the transformation of a protective immune response into chronic,... more
Experts have carried out a series of experiments with which, for the first time, they have been able to characterize the normal electrical activity in PC-3 prostate cancer cells in real time, with a resulting low-frequency... more
Scientists from Weill Cornell Medicine have developed a stem-cell-based model of small cell lung cancer that will help them understand how the disease is... more
Immune cells called macrophages are supposed to serve and protect, but cancer has found ways to put them to sleep. Now researchers at the Abramson Cancer Center of... more
Induced pluripotent stem cells, the workhorse of many regenerative medicine projects, start out as differentiated cells that are reprogrammed to pluripotent stem cells by exposure to a complex set of genetic cocktails. more
Researches from Peter the Great St.Petersburg Polytechnic University, Russian Academic Excellence Initiative participant, in collaboration with the radiologists from St.Petersburg Clinical Research for Specialized Types of Medical Care... more
A lung transplant often remains the only option for many patients with end-stage lung disease, a condition that can be brought on by emphysema, pulmonary fibrosis, cystic fibrosis and other lung disorders. more
Researchers have created a basic framework of how cancer cells adapt when their attempts to metastasize are blocked by drugs or the body's immune system. Understanding the cells' strategies could someday help... more
Induced pluripotent stem cells, the workhorse of many regenerative medicine projects, start out as differentiated cells that are reprogrammed to pluripotent stem... more
Researchers at Kanazawa University report in Nature Communications that a crystal of molecules known as pillar[5]arenes can form a host–guest compound with poly(ethylene oxides) polymers. The effect can be used to select polymers with different molecular... more
New research on how cancer mutations influence a certain type of receptor on the cell membrane opens the way for the development of tailored drugs for certain cancers, such as... more
Two new papers, published simultaneously in Nature Communications and led by researchers at McGill University, offer promise that a drug currently used... more
Researchers at Kanazawa University report in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America that a particular signaling pathway in breast-cancer tumors causes cancer cells to divide... more
