Anticancer Therapies – News and Features

Researchers in Japan identify a compound that can prevent cisplatin-induced renal toxicity and improve the outcomes of cancer treatment.

Scientists have developed a groundbreaking new technique for engineering biosensors that respond sensitively to specific biomolecules, enhancing cell migration and targeting in cancer treatment.

Technology Networks had the pleasure of speaking with Walid A. Houry, professor of biochemistry at the University of Toronto, to find out about the discovery of compounds that can induce protease hyperactivation to kill cancer cells.

A new study shows that craniospinal radiation reduces metastatic disease in this deadly pediatric cancer.

Altered version of anti-nausea drug netupitant reaches inside cells to disrupt signaling and provide sustained pain relief.

Over time, the body's cells stop working properly and begin to accumulate, which eventually leads to aging. Now, researchers have discovered a new molecule that is able to destroy these old cells without affecting the healthy ones.

A team led by researchers are coming closer to delivering on the promise of personalized breast cancer therapy with a strategy to predict the most likely response of a cancer to a specific less toxic treatment regimen.

Nanomedicine researchers have devised a new approach to solving a decades-old clinical problem: getting treatment drugs to act selectively on cancer cells and not on healthy cells.

Those at higher risk had been treated with a specific category of chemotherapy.

New research from the Keck School of Medicine of USC shows that air pollution particles activate a cellular defense mechanism known as autophagy, which may reduce the ability of cells to fight off other harms.
