Triple-negative breast cancer is a tough opponent. It lacks estrogen and progesterone receptors, as well as HER2 expression, making it hard to treat. This type of cancer is known for its aggression and limited treatment options. But there is hope. Quercetin, a flavonoid found in many plants, shows promise in fighting this disease. Researchers have been exploring qu...
Colon cancer is a serious health issue. Researchers have been working on ways to study it better. One way is by using mice to mimic the disease in humans. This is what a recent study did. They used chemicals to cause colon cancer in mice. The goal was to see how the disease develops from early changes to full-blown cancer. This is important because it helps sci...
Bladder cancer is a serious health issue. It affects many people worldwide. The role of hepatocyte growth factor activator inhibitors (HAI-1 and HAI-2) in this type of cancer is not fully understood. However, recent studies have shed some light on their potential. In earlier research, it was found that increased MET phosphorylation and decreased HAI-1 levels are ...
Biobanks are like big libraries, but instead of books, they store human samples. These samples are super important for understanding cancer. They help scientists figure out how cancer starts, how it grows, and how to treat it. By looking at these samples, researchers can see how genes, environment, and lifestyle affect cancer. This is crucial for creating personalize...
Mendelian randomization (MR) has become a hot topic in lung cancer (LC) research. This method uses genetic variations to figure out if certain factors cause disease. Yet, there hasn"t been a thorough look at how this field has grown worldwide. This is where a recent study steps in. It dives into global research trends, key players, and new themes in MR related to...
For a long time, colon cancer has been seen as a disease that affects older adults. However, in recent years, there has been a worrying increase in young people being diagnosed with this type of cancer. This trend has puzzled doctors and researchers alike. Now, a group of scientists has come up with a possible explanation. They believe that a common foodborne bacter...
Cytokines are small proteins that help cells communicate. They play a big role in how cancer spreads. This is a big deal in cancer research. Three specific cytokines have been found to spike right after surgery to remove breast, colorectal, and prostate cancer. These cytokines are TGF-β1, HGF, and IL-6. They are like messengers that tell cancer cells to change and sp...
Latin America is a vibrant mix of cultures, but it faces big problems. Political ups and downs and money troubles make it hard to have good healthcare for everyone. This is especially true when it comes to fighting cancer. Money issues in healthcare make it tough to do good research and provide top-notch care. Cancer research in Latin America often hits roadblocks. ...
Meg Newell, a local business owner in Newtown, is gearing up to participate in the Holy Half Marathon. This event is more than just a run for her; it's a way to honor loved ones and support a vital cause. Newell, who co-owns the Newtown Hardware House, is heading to the University of Notre Dame to take part in this annual event. Her goal? To raise funds and awareness...
Breast cancer is a major health issue worldwide. It is a complex disease that affects millions of lives each year. Advances in precision oncology have improved patient outcomes and deepened understanding of the biological processes driving the disease. However, traditional research methods have often focused on single-omic approaches. These approaches examine ind...
