Cancer, we know, is caused by tweaks in our genes. Scientists are hot on the trail of these mutated drivers, hoping to shed light on how cancer starts. But figuring out which genes are common or unique to different cancers is no walk in the park. This study aims to change that. Scientists have whipp
Cancer control is a big deal for health systems today. But how do we tackle it effectively? That's where system dynamics modeling (SDM) comes in. This study dives into how SDM is used to understand and combat cancer. Researchers checked out a bunch of studies to see how well SDM is doing its job. F
Cancer remains one of the world's leading causes of death. Despite years of research, it's still a complex disease that needs a cure. While traditional cancer treatments have been used for a long time, they aren't always effective or easy to use. That's why scientists are looking for better ways to
Cancer is a dangerous disease where cells grow out of control. Inside this mess, there's a protein called Tankyrase that plays a big role in sending signals called Wnt. These signals control crucial things in cells, like how genes work, how energy is used, and even cell death. When things go wrong w
Cancer treatment often needs a team of specialists across different areas of medicine. The Care Coordination Instrument (CCI) is designed to gather feedback from cancer patients about how well their care is coordinated. Researchers set out to create a German version of the CCI (CCI-DE). This involve
Cancer treatment is getting smarter by using several methods at once. One exciting tool is graphene-based nanomaterials (GBNs). These tiny powerhouses can do three amazing things: deliver drugs, fix faulty genes, and cook cancer cells with heat. That's multitasking at its best! Graphene, graphene o
Cancer cells are known for their clever tactics to evade the body's immune system. One of these tricks involves manipulating the metabolic processes of cells in and around the tumor. Tumors gobble up glucose, their main energy source, and produce lactate. This creates a tough environment for immune
Cancer treatment has seen some amazing changes lately, with scientists focusing on targeted drug delivery. One interesting way to do this is by using something called anionic polysaccharides. These are like superheroes in the world of medicine because they have cool properties like being non-toxic,
Cancer has this unique friend called telomerase, which is pretty active in cancer cells. Telomerase is like a tiny machine with a reverse transcriptase and something called human telomerase RNA (hTR). We usually spot telomerase by its activity in tissues or single cells, but that's not the whole sto
Cancer can really affect how long people live after getting a liver transplant. In the last few years, finding cancer early with better screens and treating it better with new medicines has improved for the general population. But for people who get liver transplants, things haven't changed much. Th
