Stress Can Awaken Sleeping Tumor Cells in Mice

Stress hormones and white blood cells called neutrophils may raise the risk of tumors returning years after treatment by awakening dormant cancer cells in the body, suggests a study of mice and data from 80 patients with lung cancer.

NTU Singapore scientists devise 'Trojan horse' approach to kill cancer cells without using drugs

Cancer cells are killed in lab experiments and tumour growth reduced in mice, using a new approach that turns a nanoparticle into a 'Trojan horse' that causes cancer cells to self-destruct, a research team at the Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) has found.

Researchers identify a new biomarker for personalised treatments against cancer

Many treatments against cancer, such as TRAIL, aim to trigger a type of cell death known as apoptosis. A team at IRB Barcelona, headed by Antonio Zorzano, has demonstrated that the protein TP53INP2 induces apoptosis in chemotherapy treatments.

Researchers stop ‘sneaky’ cancer cells in their tracks

A new study by University of Minnesota biomedical engineers shows how they stopped cancer cells from moving and spreading, even when the cells changed their movements. The discovery could have a major impact on millions of people undergoing therapies to prevent the spread of cancer within the body.
