Drugs used to treat hepatitis C boosted remdesivir's ability to inhibit SARS-CoV-2 in cell cultures, according to a new study.

The resistance of cancer cells to chemotherapy is marked by specific changes in certain proteins. Researchers have discovered one such altered protein "DUSP16" plays an important role in response to chemotherapeutic drugs and thus propose that it could be used as a biomarker for sensitivity to chemotherapy treatment.

A longitudinal study has shown that loneliness among middle-aged men is associated with an increased risk of cancer.

Researchers have developed a urine test for prostate cancer, called "ExoGrail", which also shows how aggressive the disease is.

A team of researchers has discovered molecular events that determine whether cancer cells live or die. The also showed that reduced consumption of a specific protein building block prevents the growth of cells that become cancerous.
