Cancer treatment just got a new twist with a clever use of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Scientists have found a way to deliver this common household chemical directly to cancer cells, making it a potential game-changer in the fight against tumors. The big challenge with H2O2 is that it breaks down qui
Canada's Environmental Damages Fund is celebrating 30 years of turning penalties into positive change. Recently, the government announced a $10. 6 million boost for 23 new projects focused on nature conservation and restoration. This fund, established in 1995, has been using money from environmental
Cancer cells are sneaky. They find ways to spread and grow in the body. Scientists are trying to understand how this happens. One big clue is something called the CXCL12/CXCR4 signaling axis. This is like a secret code that helps cancer cells, especially from the breast and prostate, to spread to th
Cancer treatment just got a boost with a new tool that combines imaging and therapy. This tool, called NO2/BDP-BT, is designed to target cancer cells precisely. It works by using a special kind of light to kill cancer cells and monitor how well it's working. This is a big deal because traditional me
Canada is finally moving towards a more secure banking system. The government has announced a new framework for open banking, set to launch in 2026. This system will replace the risky practice of sharing online banking passwords with third-party apps. Instead, users will be able to securely share th
Cancer is tricky. It hides and fights back. But scientists are on the hunt for new ways to beat it. They are looking at tiny molecules. These molecules might be able to target cancer stem cells. These are the cells that make cancer come back. The goal is to stop cancer from returning. Scientists ar
Cancer educators play a big role in training the next generation of healthcare workers. But at big research-focused cancer centers, these educators often feel lost when it comes to career growth. A recent survey shed light on this issue, revealing that many feel their work is undervalued compared to
Candida albicans is a sneaky fungus that can cause serious infections. It's a big problem in hospitals and for people with weak immune systems. The trouble is, it's getting harder to treat because it's becoming resistant to common medicines. Scientists have found a new weapon in the fight against C
Cancer cells are known for their ability to adapt and survive in tough conditions. One of the biggest challenges they face is living in an acidic environment. This acidity is a result of the tumor's own metabolism and can be harmful to the cells. However, cancer cells have found a way to use this ac
Canada is taking a closer look at its rules for pilot rest times. The reason? Industry players say the current rules are too complicated and hard to follow. This isn't just a Canadian issue. Other countries, like India, are also struggling to balance safety and practicality. In India, the biggest a
