Scientists Look for Ways to Disable Sugar Molecule That Fuels Cancer Persistence

Even though there are several treatments that can be used to fight cancer and prolong a cancer patient’s life, the disease has no cure. For the longest time, scientists have been trying to find treatments that could completely eradicate cancer cells without the side effects typically associated with conventional cancer treatments, but no success has been registered. Recent research from the University of Basel has revealed that abnormal cancer cells specifically use sugar molecules on their surface to defend themselves against the immune system. According to University of Basel researchers, this mechanism can nullify this mechanism and make cancer cells…

Genes That Saved People from Bubonic Plague Linked to Autoimmune Conditions Today

More than 700 years ago, a pandemic called the Black Death tore across Europe, taking an estimated 75 million to 200 million lives and reducing the continent’s population by around 30% to 60%. The Black Death was the first wave of a pandemic that lasted almost 500 years and is said to be the largest-ever catastrophe involving infectious diseases. Centuries later, the genetic traits that enabled people to fight off the bubonic plague are associated with an increased risk of certain autoimmune disorders. Researchers studying DNA from survivors and victims of the bubonic plague found that people who had a…

Research Finds New Therapy Path for Brain Cancer

Brain cancer affects hundreds of thousands of people globally every year and, together with central nervous system tumors, is estimated to take more than 200,000 lives. Research has also found that brain tumors make up 85% to 90% of all central nervous system tumors. Physicians usually treat brain cancer with radiation therapy, chemotherapy and surgery. However, brain tumors often recur after treatment and, in some cases, cannot be removed from the brain. As such, researchers are always looking for a more effective brain cancer treatment that can treat tumors and keep them away for the long term. A recent discovery…

Study Finds Iron Causes Chronic Heart Failure in Heart Attack Survivors

Chronic heart failure is known to develop over time, with experts finding that the primary causes of heart failure include coronary artery disease, myocardial infarction and high blood pressure. Now, new research has found that iron promotes fatty tissue formation within the heart, causing chronic heart failure among roughly 50% of heart attack survivors. This study was carried out by researchers at the School of Medicine inIndiana University, led by Dr. Rohan Dharmakumar. Dharmakumar is the associate director in charge of research at the IU Cardiovascular Institute, which is a joint venture between IU Health and IU School of Medicine.…

New Discovery May Improve Prospects for Patients with Cancer

CDC data shows that cancer death rates have been dropping for the last two decades, with a decline of 27% being recorded in the period between 2001–2020. Researchers believe that this can be attributed to improvements in current cancer treatment and diagnostic procedures as well as the use of precise gene sequencing approaches to help treat cancer. Despite this, many individuals still succumb to this fatal illness, with some cancers heightening the risk of a patient dying. For instance, colorectal, pancreatic and lung cancers make up about 40% of all cancer deaths recorded in America. In an effort to improve…

New Brain Cancer Clinical Trial Platform Launched in Australia

Over the last 30 years, the five-year survival rate of patients with brain cancer in Australia hasn’t changed, remaining at about 22%. Now, researchers are planning to launch a clinical trial platform that will revolutionize studies on new treatments for brain cancer and help deliver more personalized and targeted therapies for patients not just in Australia but around the world. The platform, titled the Brain-POP (brain perioperative), will allow physicians to observe the effect of a new drug treatment on a brain-cancer patient by comparing samples of tumors obtained prior to and following therapy administration. The platform will be the…
