Creating “super soldiers” of specific immune cells to boost an anti-tumor response against cancer has been shown in a series of elegant experiments by researchers at Princess Margaret Cancer Centre. Research led by Ph.D. candidate Helen Loo Yau, Post-doctoral Fellow Dr. Emma Bell, and Senior Scientist Dr. Daniel D. De Carvalho describes a DNA modifying ...
A team of scientists from Cardiff University has discovered a unique way of killing several types of cancers. The technique uses a newly discovered part of the human immune system. Though the method has yet to be tested on actual patients, the researchers feel that it has immense potential. Killing cancer with the immune system ...
Science has primarily focused on creating machines visible to our eyes. Today, research in DNA nanomachines is booming thanks to the immense potential the field holds for human society. The technology focuses on building DNA-sized machines capable of doing things that are impossible with the standard machines we are accustomed to. For instance, researchers have ...
With people looking for alternative methods of treatment for cancer, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is fast becoming a popular choice for many. Several scientific studies have also been conducted to assess the effectiveness of TCM on cancer, with most recommending the medical system at least as a complementary solution to existing Western medications. Scientific studies ...
A new blood test using gold nanoparticles could soon give oncologists an early and more accurate prognosis of how cancer treatment is progressing, and help guide the on-going therapy of patients. Researchers at the University of Queensland have developed new nanotechnology to monitor the diversity of individual cancer cells circulating in the body. In close ...
