Study unveils novel bladder cancer diagnostic model based on key mitochondrial genes

With millions of cases of bladder cancer (BC) around the world, the need for tools to ensure a timely diagnosis of this condition is a matter of concern. Scientists recently used mitochondrial-related genes (MRGs), known to be involved in the progression of the disease, to build a novel diagnostic model using machine learning (ML). The […]

New AI tool ‘TORCH’ successfully identifies cancer origins in unknown primary cases

In a recent study published in Nature Medicine, researchers developed a deep-learning approach for tumor origin differentiation using cytological histology (TORCH), recognizing malignancy and predicting tumor origin in hydrothorax and ascites using cytological pictures from 57,220 patients. Study: Transparent medical image AI via an image–text foundation model grounded in medical literature. Image Credit: metamorworks/Shutterstock.com Background Cancers of […]

Vaccines targeting chronic diseases show promise in combatting age-related conditions

In a recent review published in Nature Aging, researchers explored vaccine-based therapeutics for age-related disorders. Study: Targeting aging and age-related diseases with vaccines. Image Credit: Ground Picture/Shutterstock.com Background Aging is a primary risk factor for chronic illnesses, marked by reduced physiological capabilities. Cell senescence, genomic instability, stem cell fatigue, and mitochondrial failure are characteristics. Aging also increases […]

Genetically engineering skin bacteria to fight cancer

While studying a type of bacteria that lives on the healthy skin of every human being, researchers from Stanford Medicine and a colleague may have stumbled on a powerful new way to fight cancer. After genetically engineering the bacteria, called Staphylococcus epidermidis, to produce a tumor antigen (a protein unique to the tumor that’s capable […]

New microfluidic device improves the separation of tumor cells and clusters from malignant effusions

Researchers have unveiled a microfluidic device that significantly improves the separation of tumor cells and clusters from malignant effusions. This novel technology promises to advance the diagnosis and treatment monitoring of cancer by enabling the high-throughput, continuous-flow ternary separation of single tumor cells, tumor cell clusters, and white blood cells (WBCs) from clinical pleural or […]

UCLA study finds pre-surgery immunotherapy safe for pancreatic cancer patients

Findings A pilot study led by UCLA Health Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center investigators suggests that for people with borderline resectable pancreatic cancer, administrating an immunotherapy drug in combination with chemotherapy before surgery is safe and may improve long-term outcomes. The findings showed that treating patients with the combination therapy prior to surgery resulted in a higher rate of successful […]

New “GPS nanoparticle” delivers a genetic punch to the protein implicated in tumor spread

A newly developed “GPS nanoparticle” injected intravenously can home in on cancer cells to deliver a genetic punch to the protein implicated in tumor growth and spread, according to researchers from Penn State. They tested their approach in human cell lines and in mice to effectively knock down a cancer-causing gene, reporting that the technique […]

Flavonol-rich diet linked to lower mortality and disease risk, study shows

In a recent prospective cohort study published in the journal Scientific Reports, researchers investigated the association between flavonol intake and cause-specific and all-cause mortality risk in adults in the United States. They found that an elevated dietary intake of flavonol is associated with a lower risk of all-cause mortality as well as Alzheimer’s disease (AD), […]

Mad2 expression levels with chromosomal abnormalities can be a biomarker for esophageal cancer

A new research paper was published in Oncotarget’s Volume 15 on February 5, 2024, entitled, “Differential expression of Mad2 gene is consequential to the patterns of histone H3 post-translational modifications in its promoter region in human esophageal cancer samples.” Raw areca nut (AN) consumption increases esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) due to overexpression of securin […]
