Childhood cancers remain the leading cause of disease-related death in young people partly because many tumours become treatment-resistant and relapse. Unlike adult cancers, paediatric tumours carry very few genetic mutations. […]
Separate studies led by scientists at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center (DMHC) and Queens University offer some clarity about the hidden causes of recurrent pregnancy loss. Data from both studies is […]
Researchers at King’s College London have developed a new “companion drug,” KCL-HO-1i, designed to make chemotherapy more effective by dismantling the immune barriers that protect tumours. Tumours recruit immune cells […]
For the first time, Huntington’s disease (HD) has been successfully treated using a one-time gene therapy called AMT-130, showing up to a 75% slowdown in disease progression over three years in a small clinical trial. Huntington’s is […]
The article discusses Luigi Ombrato’s research on the early stages of cancer metastasis, a critical yet poorly understood phase in cancer progression. While much is known about how tumors grow […]
MIT researchers developed a new cancer immunotherapy that makes tumors help destroy themselves. They used lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) to deliver mRNA encoding the enzyme cGAS into cancer cells. This enzyme […]
