Uncontrolled Growth Is an Advantage and Weakness for Cancer Cells
ETH Zurich researchers are illuminating what can happen when cells exceed their normal size and become senescent. Their new findings could help to optimise cancer treatments.

Antibody Turbocharges the Immune System Against Cancer
A new study has identified an antibody that can supercharge the immune system, helping to overcome a previously unknown mechanism by which cancer cells prevent phagocytosis.

Cancer Immunotherapy Shows Promise Against Tuberculosis
A promising new cancer therapy also appears extremely potent against one of the world’s most devastating infectious diseases: tuberculosis (TB). Scientists found the therapy dramatically reduces TB growth, even for bacteria that are drug-resistant.

Genomic "Tug of War" Could Influence How Cancer Patients Respond to Decitabine
A genomic tug of war for a gene activator could explain why some cancers respond to decitabine and others don't respond or become resistant over time.

New Insights Into DNA Repair Pathway Implicated in Breast, Ovarian and Prostate Cancers Revealed
A lesser-known DNA repair pathway that is upregulated in breast, ovarian and prostate cancer has been pieced together and laid out step by step in a new paper.

Inability of Macrophages To Penetrate Tumors Could Explain Cell Therapy Failures
Macrophages, a type of white blood cell that can destroy invading pathogens, have an innate ability to infiltrate tumor cells, making them a potentially important tool in treatments that use transplanted cells to fight disease, known as cell therapy.

Experimental Drug Obstructs Tumor Migration in Pancreatic Cancer
Researchers have identified the genetic changes that occur during pancreatic cancer metastasis and have found a drug to disrupt the process.

“DNA Loops” in Pediatric Brain Tumors Double Relapse Risk
A study of newly created databases of medulloblastoma has found that patients with tumors containing circular extrachromosomal DNA are twice as likely to relapse and three times as likely to die within five years of diagnosis.
