Discovery: New biomarker for cancer stem cells Protein linked to tumor survival and spread

2019-11-13

Medical researchers have discovered a new biomarker in cancer stem cells that govern cancer survival and spread, and it's raising hope that drug discovery to kill cancer stem cells could follow suit.

Flipping the script on novel cancer therapy leads to insights into lupus

2019-12-11

In the last decade, scientists discovered that blocking a key regulator of the immune system helped unleash the body's natural defenses against several forms of cancer, opening up a new era of cancer immunotherapy. Now scientists have essentially flipped this script and found that when impaired a molecularly similar regulator can cause the damaging immune system attacks on skin and organs that are the hallmark of the autoimmune disease lupus.

Intestinal stem cell genes may link dietary fat and colon cancer

2019-11-25

Two genes that appear to help stem cells in the intestine burn dietary fat may play a role in colon cancer, according to a new study. The study describes a new connection between the way cells consume fat and how genes regulate stem cell behavior in the intestines of mice.

Tumors turn gut 'brain cells' into tumor growth promoters

2019-10-30

When enteric glial cells are exposed to secretions from colon tumors, the glial cells convert into promoters of tumor growth. The work demonstrates enteric glial cells' importance in the tumor microenvironment and could lead to new targets for treatment of colon cancer.

Protein could offer therapeutic target for pancreatic cancer

2019-11-12

A protein that drives growth of pancreatic cancer, and which could be a target for new treatments, has been identified.

Home urine test for prostate cancer could revolutionize diagnosis

2019-11-30

A new home urine test for prostate cancer could revolutionize diagnosis -- according to new research. As well as diagnosing aggressive prostate cancer, the test predicts whether patients will require treatment up to five years earlier than standard clinical methods. It also means that men don't have to come into the clinic to provide a urine sample -- or have to undergo an uncomfortable rectal examination.

Permanent hair dye and straighteners may increase breast cancer risk

2019-12-04

Scientists found that women who use permanent hair dye and chemical hair straighteners have a higher risk of developing breast cancer than women who don't use these products. The study suggests that breast cancer risk increased with more frequent use of these chemical hair products.

Root of childhood kidney cancer discovered

2019-12-05

A fundamental change in our understanding of the childhood kidney cancer Wilms' tumor is on the horizon, after the discovery of its earliest genetic root by scientists. By comparing genome sequences from normal kidney tissue and tumors, the team identified patches of normal-looking kidney tissue that in fact carried DNA changes that cause Wilms' tumor.
