Excellent success rate, tumors eliminated to the millimeter, farewell complications: TULSA, ultrasound waves against prostate cancer
Rapamycin slows down skin aging: first studies in humans.
Rapamycin continues to amaze: after having slowed down the aging of mice and other species, in the first study on human tissues it also shows that it counteracts skin aging. And it's just the beginning.
Magnetic blood cleaning enters the clinical trial phase
Magnetically upload viruses and carry out magnetic blood cleaning with a magnet? As absurd as it sounds, here's why the idea can work.
Breast cancer turned into fat, stopped spreading
The very good news is that in this case the adipogenesis process is irreversible. From breast cancer we will move on to some fat to shed.
Melanoma vaccine, the results come: it works
The drug shows efficacy on mice in preventing the development of melanoma, related tumors and related metastases. The melanoma vaccine is reality.
Electronic nose identifies brain tumors in real time by “sniffing” tissues
The device is able to "smell" the surgical smoke produced by the cuts of the electric scalpel, distinguishing the type of tumor and tissue (and helping the neurosurgeon in real time)
Full 3D printed heads improve brain operations

Surgery in times of climate threat: it's time for 'green' anesthesia
“I try to take precautions. I don't turn on too many lights, take shorter showers, or anything. I do what I can. But in my profession it is a very simple gesture that can have a gigantic impact."
'Biological barrier' found that prevents cancer from metastasizing
Researchers from the University of Bern and the Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics have discovered a particular protein signaling pathway capable of controlling when a tumor can spread and when it cannot.
The new anticancer drug that destroys metastases
Cancer is no longer as scary as it used to be, because many people recover from this disease and also because research is making giant strides, including Italian research, to try to defeat the pathology with new technologies. In recent news, for example, a new drug composed of nanoparticles capable of directly penetrating the metastases caused by breast cancer in organs such as the lungs and liver has been developed, destroying them completely. For now, the new… Read more
Research uncovers the weakness of cancer
Are we facing an epochal turning point? Researchers, in fact, may have discovered the weak point of cancer, even at the terminal stage. A team of researchers from University College London, in fact, managed to identify a strategy, supported by funding from Cancer Research UK and the Rosetrees Trust. The research, published in Science, explains how the genetic complexity of tumors can be recognized and exploited by the immune system. When a cancer develops in the human body, in fact, the diversity of its genetic defects can be ... Read more
