Tumour cells living in the cross hairs of radiation or chemotherapy may be able to escape death because their self-destruct mechanisms are jammed, say University of Florida scientists writing in a ...
... HB-19. In contrast to conventional anti-cancer drugs, HB-19 has a dual mechanism of action by its capacity to target independently both tumour cell growth...
... -toxic treatment that effectively reduces breast cancer cells, by combining a small molecular drug that targets tumour cells with an antibody that causes selective shutdown of tumour blood vessels...
... shown that an MGH-developed, microchip-based device that detects and analyses tumour cells in the bloodstream can be used to determine the genetic signature of lung tumours, allowing identification ...
When tumour cells acquire the capacity to move around and invade other tissues, there is a risk of metastases and cancer treatment becomes more difficult. At the Institut Curie, CNRS Director of ...
Counting the number of tumour cells circulating in the bloodstream of patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer can accurately predict how well they are responding to treatment, new results ...
Medical physicists at the University of Virginia have created a novel way to kill tumour cells using nanoparticles and light. The technique, devised by Wensha Yang, an instructor in radiation oncology ...
... at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital have shown in that it might be possible to make tumour cells more sensitive to irradiation and some types of chemotherapy by treating them with a drug that ...
... of n-3 and n-6 PUFA for growth of tumour cells, as some findings are contradictory, and most studies have not addressed the effect of a changed n-3/n-6 PUFA ratio on cell proliferation...
... have identified a new drug compound that appears to target tumour cells and surrounding blood vessels without the negative side effects typically associated with Cox-2 inhibitors...
... that naturally-occurring compounds can selectively deplete mutant p53 and restore 'wild type' function to p53 in a variety of tumour cells...
... of the breast invades neighboring tissue to spread to other parts of the body, the cause lies not in the tumour cells themselves but in a group of abnormal surrounding cells that cause the walls of ...
... abundantly on the surface of cancer cells and long known to fuel cancer growth also protects tumour cells from starvation by a newly identified mechanism, researchers at The University of Texas M. D. ...
Tumours have a unique vulnerability that can be exploited to make them more sensitive to heat and radiation, researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis report...
... cancer cells depend on the breakdown of specific proteins in signalling cascades, which appear critical for tumour cell survival and proliferation, the cancer cells would no longer be able to ...
