Computational DNA droplet recognizes a specific combination of tumor biomarker microRNAs

The formation of aqueous droplets in macromolecules by liquid-liquid phase separation (or coacervation) is a popular topic in life sciences research. DNA is particularly interesting among the numerous macromolecules that form droplets because it is predictable and programmable, both of which are desirable properties in nanotechnology.

Researchers analyze the involvement of immune cells in lung cancer survival

Lung cancer affects approximately 48,500 persons in the United Kingdom every year. New treatments are urgently needed because only around 20% of patients live 5 years after diagnosis, and it is the leading cause of cancer death.

Researchers created ultrasound-guided microbubbles to enhance immunotherapy performance

The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center scientists have created an ultrasound-guided cancer immunotherapy approach that promotes systemic antitumor immunity and increases immune checkpoint blockade therapeutic potential. Nature Nanotechnology published the results of the pioneering study.

Damaged liver treated in perfusion machine for three days and then implanted into a cancer patient

The multidisciplinary Zurich research team Liver4Life has succeeded in doing something during a treatment attempt that had never been achieved in the history of medicine until now: it treated an originally damaged human liver in a machine for three days outside a body and then implanted the recovered organ into a cancer patient.

Scientists discover a new left-handed Z-DNA technique to kill hard-to-treat tumors

An international collaboration of scientists has discovered a new technique to kill cancers that are difficult to treat, according to an article published in Nature.

Researchers determine the novel medical target of angiogenesis for ccRCC patients

Research reported that the DMDRMR/miR-378a-5p/ DAB2IP axis enhances angiogenesis and sunitinib resistance, suggesting that it could be used for patients with ccRCC.

Study uncovers how CD8+ T cells can divide and produce two distinct daughter cells

An immunological problem has been addressed by scientists at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Despite being genetically identical, a CD8+ T cell can divide and produce two functionally different daughter cells.

Study shows polymersome can effectively deliver PARP1 siRNA to treat breast cancer

Small interfering RNAs, or siRNAs, have the potential to cure tumors by targeting knocking down oncogenes that drive tumor development while avoiding the damage associated with chemotherapy.

Researchers devise a new treatment approach to cure aggressive brain tumors

Glioblastomas (GBMs) are cancerous tumors of the brain and spinal cord that are incredibly aggressive.

Cancer biomarkers relying on methylation could forecast tumor type

In cancer management, biomarkers are commonly used to guide treatment decisions and evaluate patient outcomes.

Research shows how visible hotspots may be easy to target with immune-stimulating drugs

Many cancers include genetic “hotspots,” or sections of DNA that are subject to mutation. For example, a mutation in the TP53 gene is found in more than 50% of all cancers, generally within a narrow DNA range.

Scientist reveals the impact of mitochondria in metastatic prostate cancer

Prostate cancer that has spread to other regions of the body is commonly treated with hormone treatment, but many individuals develop resistance to it, making their disease more aggressive and potentially fatal.

Study shows new potential target for CAR T cells to inhibit solid tumors

CAR T therapy, or chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy, has revolutionized the treatment of some blood cancers, allowing patients with relapsed or refractory disease to live longer and better lives.

Gene expression signatures in lymph node cells play an active role in lymphoma development

Researchers from the University of Tsukuba identify gene expression signatures in different types of lymph nodes cells that play an active role in the development of lymphomas.

Study shows the role of mucosal-associated invariant T cell in mucosal melanomas patients

Many cancer patients have benefited from the development of anti-cancer immunotherapy drugs known as immune checkpoint inhibitors, but patients with mucosal melanomas—melanomas that occur in the mucous membranes of the head, neck, eyes, respiratory system, and genitourinary region rather than on the skin—are highly resistive to immune checkpoint inhibitors for reasons researchers do not fully understand.
