- Could the keto diet be increasing your cancer risk?
Researchers found the keto diet suppresses tumors in one part of the body but accelerates tumor growth in another. The diet's effects on cancer risk appear to vary depending on the tumor location.
- Landmark pancreatic cancer treatment paves way for targeting other tricky tumors
A landmark treatment for pancreatic cancer has shown unprecedented results, offering hope for targeting other challenging tumors. The breakthrough highlights optimism for addressing previously difficult-to-treat cancers.
- Wonder pill shrinks tumours in a third of patients with six hard-to-treat cancers, early trial shows
An experimental 'wonder pill' reduced tumors in one-third of patients with six challenging-to-treat cancers, according to an early-stage clinical trial. The results suggest potential therapeutic promise for these aggressive cancer types.
- Chinese scientists use supercomputer to cut new drug screening time from years to seconds
Chinese scientists have developed an AI platform called GalaxyVS that uses a supercomputer to screen chemical compounds for drug discovery, reducing the initial screening phase from years to seconds. The system aims to accelerate research for treating tumors, neurodegenerative conditions, rare diseases, and emerging infectious diseases, particularly during public health crises.
- Scientists supercharge immune cells to destroy cancer more effectively
Researchers enhanced immune cells by adding signaling components and briefly suppressing them with a drug, making them more effective at attacking tumors. This approach could lead to safer, stronger next-generation cancer treatments.
