Pancreatic Cancer Research Receives $8m Philanthropic Funding Boost

"This innovative platform is a game-changer. By integrating clinical and laboratory research onto the same platform, it enables more coordinated scientific research, to find the right interventions for each patient, when they need it."

Lung Cancer Research Underscores Need For Screening

Lung cancer affects the lives of about 40,000 people a year in the UK and previous studies from Liverpool researchers illustrate the unequivocal benefit of lung cancer screening in identified high risk groups.

'New Insight Into The Tricks Cancer Cells Use To Keep Growing Could Help Beat Disease'

New research has given us an insight into the tricks that cancer cells are using to keep growing and spreading

Study Explores Why Glioblastoma Treatment May Work Better In The Morning

Rhythms are aligned with daily activity of a DNA repair enzyme known as MGMT. The scientists then conducted tests and found that tumor cells were more likely to die when chemotherapy was administered at the time of day, the morning, when tumor cells had the least MGMT activity.

Proteins In Blood Could Warn Of Cancer Seven Years Before Diagnosis, Scientists Find

Doctors welcome the "important" discovery and say it is a "crucial first step" towards offering preventative therapies.

Artificial Intelligence Reveals Prostate Cancer Is Not Just One Disease

“This study is really important because until now, we thought that prostate cancer was just one type of disease. But it is only now, with advancements in artificial intelligence, that we have been able to show that there are actually two different subtypes at play.”

New Target To Combat Chemotherapy Resistance In Deadly Brain Cancer

For patients battling glioblastoma, a highly aggressive and deadly form of brain cancer, resistance to chemotherapy remains a significant obstacle.

From COVID-19 Breakthrough To Lung Cancer Vaccine

In the same way traditional vaccines use part of a virus to train our bodies to fight disease, cancer vaccines use harmless proteins from the surface of cancer cells known as neoantigens.

Nearby Asteroid's Birthplace Traced To Specific Crater On The Moon

Scientists can often tell which parent body any given asteroid originated from, by analyzing the rocks' composition, reflectiveness, and other signatures.

Cell Therapy Takes Aim At Deadly Brain Tumours In Two Clinical Trials

The Penn Medicine team will also map the CAR T cells' infiltration of brain tumours over time.

AI Now Surpasses Humans In Almost All Performance Benchmarks

The rapid rate of technical development seen throughout 2023, evident in this report, shows that AI will only keep evolving and closing the gap between humans and technology.

Cell Therapies Now Beat Back Once Untreatable Blood Cancers. Scientists Are Making Them Even Deadlier.

Dubbed "Living drugs," CAR T cells are bioengineered from a patient's own immune cells to make them better able to hunt and destroy cancer.
