Breast cancer is still the top killer among women with cancer. One of the big reasons is cancer stem cells (CSCs). These are like the hidden leaders of cancer cells, making them tough to beat. Scientists are getting better at finding and separating these cells. They use tests like the mammosphere fo
Ever heard of Gymnostachyum febrifugum? This plant, found in the Western Ghats of India, has been used in traditional medicine for ages. Scientists wanted to figure out how it might help fight breast cancer. They started by looking at the chemicals in the plant's roots using a technique called GC-MS
Pulmonary sarcomatoid carcinoma (PSC) is an unusual kind of lung cancer that quickly spreads and invades tissues. Typically, it's found at later stages, making surgery challenging. There's no clear best treatment for advanced PSC. Researchers looked at how well chemotherapy and immunotherapy-based t
More people are now coming back to their regular lives after cancer treatment. While the lasting effects of the disease and its therapy can be quite substantial, we don't know much about how these effects influence survivors' everyday activities. This study set out to discover the common experiences
Triple-negative breast cancer, or TNBC, is a tough and sneaky type of breast cancer that tends to come back even after treatment. This makes finding new ways to fight it super urgent. Biomarkers, special molecules that can help doctors spot cancer and decide on the best treatment, are really importa
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
Immuno-oncology drugs, like immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), have shown potential in treating various cancers. For advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with PD-L1 expression of 50% or higher, single-drug ICI therapy that targets PD-L1 is the standard treatment. But can machine le
Scientists are finding an unexpected hero in the fight against cancer and inflammation: plants. They've discovered tiny bubbles made by plants, called PDNVs, that can safely carry important genetic messages to the right cells. These messages can help cells fix broken genes or fight diseases, making
2024 has been a wild ride for medical advancements! Imagine shrinking cancer tumors with pills or genetically engineered superhero cells? Or replacing a heart valve without opening up the chest? These weren't possible two decades ago. But what made 2024 special? Let's dive in! First, GLP-1 drugs, o
Prostate cancer (PCa) often becomes resistant to treatment, making it hard to cure. This type of cancer is linked to unusual lipid metabolism, which makes it tough to treat. Scientists have come up with a clever way to tackle this problem. They designed a tiny nanomachine called HA@CD36i-TR@siSCD1.
