Scientists created smart nanoparticles that can both illuminate hidden glioblastoma cells during surgery and destroy microscopic cancer left behind afterward. In mice, the treatment prevented recurrence and led to 100% survival at 60 days, though it has not yet been tested in hum

A team of Weill Cornell Medicine investigators has developed a computer model that will help scientists more efficiently develop protein-destroying therapies, a newer type of treatment that is particularly promising for cancer. The study is published July 13 in Nature Communicati

A new University of Kent start-up has been launched to commercialize biotechnology that could make it cheaper and easier to produce proteins used in cancer treatments, vaccines and diagnostic tests. Sirius Proteins was registered this month, taking technology developed and patent

The US FDA on Wednesday approved Revolution Medicines' Rasonque for advanced pancreatic cancer, opening a new treatment option for patients with metastatic disease. A large trial found the once-daily pill doubled survival rates, offering fresh hope for people who have exhausted o

On the forearms of those working in the laboratory at the University of Oslo, one thing stands out: mysterious round or cross-shaped scars on the skin. Here, researchers need skin cells, and they themselves step up in the service of research. The skin cells are allowed to grow an

A British cardiologist and former president of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) has been judged by the ESC to have committed severe misconduct after a Danish TV documentary reported that he had been involved in drawing up guidelines for the use of the heart drug ivabradin

When a cell gets ready to divide, it shuts down its gene-reading machinery almost entirely. For decades, the mechanism behind that shutdown was only partially understood. A new study co-led by Alarcón and Lilian Kabeche, associate professor of molecular biophysics and biochemistr

Some patients develop aggressive blood cancers years after receiving chemotherapy or radiotherapy for a previous cancer. These conditions, known as therapy-related myeloid neoplasms (t-MN), are currently classified mainly according to a patient's treatment history, even though th

Patients with extreme obesity are more common among those undergoing metabolic and bariatric surgery than previously recognized, and although they face a greater burden of certain health conditions and surgical complications, their overall surgical risk remains relatively low, ac

A collaborative clinical study led by National Taiwan University Hospital (NTUH) and Taiwan Clinical Oncology Group, National Health Research Institutes (TCOG, NHRI) has yielded promising results for a new therapeutic regimen to treat primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNS

The blood–brain barrier (BBB) is a protective filter that lines the brain's blood vessels and is notoriously hard to penetrate, making the treatment of brain disorders very difficult. Strategies designed to breach the BBB include using brain surgery and focused ultrasound waves t

For many older adults with heart disease, age is a significant factor in treatment decisions. But a new Yale–led study published in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society suggests that overall health, function and medical conditions may be more important than age alone wh
