The 4 horsemen of the Apocalypse: 4 poisons to be banned in the next 10 years
They have been studied and evaluated as carcinogenic. They do very badly and have been banned only in part: here are 4 poisons to be banned by 2030.
Alpha DaRT, extraordinary anti-cancer radiotherapy to alpha particles
An Israeli company is in the clinical trial phase of a truly innovative and effective anti-cancer technology. It's called Alpha DaRT.
The nanobots begin to enter a new territory: our body
No more chemicals that indistinctly affect sick and healthy cells: nanobots are intelligent machines, and will soon show their value
6 examples of body hacking and their possible future evolutions
Body hacking will be an increasingly popular practice. Here is how we are already transforming our body and what future developments will be.
TULSA, ultrasound waves against prostate cancer
Excellent success rate, tumors eliminated to the millimeter, farewell complications: TULSA, ultrasound waves against prostate cancer
Researchers take the first step towards the molecular engine
How does an eel produce electricity? Many implications depend on the answer to this question. Here are the first steps towards the molecular motor
New discoveries on the secret of longevity
Tests have shown that the blood of those who enjoy the longest life has unusually high doses of immune cells, which constitute constant defenses against viruses, bacteria and tumors.
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.
The drug that blocks glutamine slows down the tumor
By targeting glutamine, the team was able to slow down the tumor and alter the metabolism of the tumor microenvironment, "awakening" the immune defenses.
An 'abnormal' protein may improve pancreatic cancer treatment
New research identifies the mechanism that causes pancreatic cancer to resist chemotherapy. It will lead to better prognosis and treatment.
Does weightlessness kill cancer cells?
A group of researchers plans to send cancer cells into space after research in a microgravity environment showed notable effects.
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.
'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 sun against smoking
Smokers, you are warned: exposing yourself to the sun's rays is especially good for you, given that the action of the sun, as has just been demonstrated, mitigates the damage caused by cigarette smoking. The news was revealed by a Swedish study just published in the Journal of Internal Medicine, a study conducted on 30 thousand women. “The study which began in 1990 involved Swedish women aged between 25 and 64 – stated Girolomoni, Director of Dermatology of Verona and president of the… Read more
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
