• 'Exhausted' immune cells in healthy women could be target for breast cancer prevention March 28, 2024
  People carrying BRCA1 and BRCA2 gene mutations are at high risk of developing breast and ovarian cancer. Researchers have found that changes occur in the immune cells of breast tissue in carriers of BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations long before breast cancer develops. This raises the possibility of early intervention to prevent the disease, as an […]
• In the fight against breast cancer, researchers identify malignancy hibernation as the next battleground March 20, 2024
  There is a surprising dearth of research about how breast cancer cells can go dormant, spread and then resurface years or even decades later, according to a new review of in vitro breast cancer studies.
• Researchers develop deep learning model to predict breast cancer March 19, 2024
  Researchers have developed a new, interpretable artificial intelligence (AI) model to predict 5-year breast cancer risk from mammograms, according to a new study.
• GPS nanoparticle platform precisely delivers therapeutic payload to cancer cells March 11, 2024
  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. They tested their approach in human cell lines and in mice to effectively knock down a cancer-causing gene, reporting that the technique may potentially offer […]
• A smart molecule beats the mutation behind most pancreatic cancer March 5, 2024
  Researchers have designed a candidate drug that could help make pancreatic cancer, which is almost always fatal, a treatable, perhaps even curable, condition.
