Study pinpoints a splicing deregulation that causes therapeutic vulnerability in pediatric AML

Pediatric acute myeloid leukemia or pAML is a childhood blood cancer, one that has proved confounding to clinicians and researchers, with a high relapse rate and relatively few identified genetic mutations (compared to the adult version) that might explain its cause.

LDL-mediated nanoparticle drug delivery could potentially circumvent high-grade gliomas

New research has shown that the blood vessels that feed aggressive brain tumors have receptors that could allow a new type of drug-containing nanoparticle to be used to starve the tumors of the energy they use to grow and spread, and also cause other disruptions to their adapted existence, even killing themselves.

Randomness governs the responsiveness of tumor cells to chemotherapy

According to a recent study done by the Garvan Institute of Medical Research, cancer cells have an inbuilt unpredictability in their capacity to respond to chemotherapy, which is another tool in their armory for fighting treatment.
