3D tumor mapping reveals new insights into cancer biology and treatment

A new analysis led by researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis has revealed detailed 3D maps of the internal structures of multiple tumor types. These cancer atlases reveal how different tumor cells -; and the cells of a tumor's surrounding environment -; are organized, in 3D, and how that organization changes when a tumor spreads to other organs.

New therapeutic target overcomes ovarian cancer immunotherapy resistance

Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have discovered a way that ovarian cancer tumors manipulate their environment to resist immunotherapy and identified a drug target that could overcome that resistance.

Mindfulness meditation outperforms placebo in reducing pain

Mindfulness meditation, which has been used for centuries for pain management in various cultures, has long been speculated to work by activating processes supporting the placebo response.

Researchers develop novel oxygen-independent therapy for cancer

Tumors often contain areas of oxygen-deficient tissue that frequently withstand conventional therapies. This is because the drugs applied in tumors require oxygen to be effective. An international research team has developed a novel mechanism of action that works without oxygen: polymeric incorporated nanocatalysts target the tumor tissue selectively and switch off the glutathione that the cells need to survive.

New pipeline analyzes drug responses in primary tumors

In a major leap toward more effective cancer treatments, researchers at the University of Oulu have developed an innovative pipeline designed to directly analyze drug responses in primary patient tumor samples.

Study reveals the role of eye movements in Parkinson's disease

Rapid side-to-side eye movements can help stabilize posture, avoid falls and maintain balance for people with Parkinson's disease, just as they can for healthy people. This seemingly counterintuitive conclusion was reached by researchers at São Paulo State University (UNESP) in Brazil and the University of Lille in France in a study supported by FAPESP. An article on the study is published in the journal Biomechanics.

Researchers aim to identify the "sweet spot" for safely scheduling surgery after heart attack

After a heart attack, aging adults face double or triple the risk of life-threatening complications – like a debilitating stroke or another heart attack – when they move forward with elective noncardiac surgeries too soon, according to new University of Rochester research published in JAMA Surgery.
