- Israeli drug-free nanomedicine gives fresh hope in battling aggressive breast cancer
Technion scientists developed a drug-free nanomedicine that halted 'triple-negative' breast cancer tumors in female mice models. The nanomedicine uses materials already approved as safe for humans by international regulatory bodies.
- For southwest suburban woman, a breast cancer diagnosis and the queer affirmation that kept her going
Alix Shulman, a 49-year-old southwest suburban woman, was diagnosed with stage 3 IIB triple-negative breast cancer and underwent chemotherapy and a bilateral mastectomy.

- Scientists supercharge natural killer cells to fight aggressive cancers
Scientists at McGill University have developed a method to enhance natural killer (NK) cells by blocking two proteins, making them more effective against aggressive cancers like leukemia, glioblastoma, kidney cancer, and triple-negative breast cancer.
- Ecotypes of triple-negative breast cancer in response to chemotherapy
Researchers found that macrophage subtypes and cancer-cell metaprograms are associated with a good response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in triple-negative breast cancer patients. The study highlights the importance of interferon signalling, HLA expression, and cell cycle activity in treatment outcomes. This discovery could lead to more effective personalized treatment strategies.
