Stopping cell recycling could help treat HER2-positive breast cancer

Recycling cans and bottles is a good practice. It helps keep the planet clean. The same is true for recycling within cells in the body. Each cell has a way of cleaning out waste in order to regenerate newer, healthier cells. This "cell recycling" is called autophagy.

Scientists identify genomic signatures of long-term survival in luminal breast cancer patients

Researchers at NUI Galway have identified genomic signatures in women developing the most common type of breast cancer that can be associated with long-term survival.

New drug candidate to be trialed for most lethal form of brain cancer

A new drug candidate has been discovered by the University of South Australia to treat the most lethal form of brain cancer - glioblastoma - which kills 95 per cent of patients within five years.

Report estimates cancer incidence and mortality at the global level

Cancer ranks as a leading cause of death in every country in the world, and, for the first time, female breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer, overtaking lung cancer, according to a collaborative report, Global Cancer Statistics 2020, from the American Cancer Society and the International Agency for Research on Cancer.

Chronic hypoxia upregulates RNA polymerase I, alters methylation on ribosomal RNAs

Hypoxia -- where a tissue is deprived of an adequate supply of oxygen -- is a feature inside solid cancer tumors that renders them highly invasive and resistant to treatment. Study of how cells adapt to this critical stressor, by altering their metabolism to survive in a low-oxygen environment, is important to better understand tumor growth and spread.

Study highlights barriers faced by cancer survivors in maintaining a healthy diet

The Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics focuses on the relationship between diet and cancer and the role nutrition may play in successful cancer outcomes.

Research could open the door to next-generation of cancer drugs that work better

Some of the most commonly used drugs for treating hereditary breast and ovarian cancers may not work the way we thought they did, according to new University of Colorado Boulder research.

Tiny molecular motions are of key significance in modern anti-cancer drugs

Modern immunotherapeutic anti-cancer drugs support a natural mechanism of the immune system to inhibit the growth of cancer cells.

New analysis highlights prevalence of cognitive impairment and changes in breast cancer patients

A recent analysis of published studies estimates that one-quarter of adults with breast cancer have cognitive impairment before starting therapy.

Fractional CO2 laser therapy may help treat breast cancer survivors with genitourinary syndrome of menopause

Postmenopausal women often complain of painful intercourse or a lack of desire caused by decreased estrogen levels, which affect vaginal elasticity and lubrication.

Breast cancer‐on‐a‐chip to test the effectiveness of checkpoint inhibitor drugs

There are many mechanisms by which the body responds to foreign invaders. One of these involves the T-cells of the immune system, which have a number of different proteins on their surface called "checkpoint proteins."

Women are less likely to undergo CABG, may experience worse outcomes after surgery

Women are significantly less likely than men to undergo coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) using guideline-recommended approaches, which may result in worse outcomes after surgery, according to a scientific presentation at the 57th Annual Meeting of The Society of Thoracic Surgeons.

RPS-12 protein overproduction appears to trigger breast cancer and other malignancies

Using the developing eye of the fruit fly as a test platform, researchers found that RPS-12 protein overproduction appears to trigger triple-negative breast cancer and possibly some other malignancies.

SORLA protein promotes the growth of breast cancer brain metastasis

SORLA is a protein trafficking receptor that has been mainly studied in neurons, but it also plays a role in cancer cells.

Scientists create new way to detect COVID-19 proteins and antibodies

Scientists have created a new way to detect the proteins that make up the pandemic coronavirus, as well as antibodies against it. They designed protein-based biosensors that glow when mixed with components of the virus or specific COVID-19 antibodies.
