Dietary Change Starves Cancer Cells, Overcoming Treatment Resistance

November 26, 2022 By Namita Nayyar (WF Team)

Cancer cells need nutrients to survive and grow. One of the most important nutrient sensing molecules in a cell is called mTORC1. Often called a master regulator of cell growth, it allows cells to sense different nutrients and thereby grow and proliferate. When nutrients are limited, cells dial down nutrient sensing cascade and turn off mTORC1. While mTORC1 is known to be … [Read more...]

Scientists Discover Key to Hepatitis A virus Replication, Show Drug Effectiveness

July 9, 2022 By Namita Nayyar (WF Team)

The viral replication cycle is crucial for a virus to spread inside the body and cause disease. Focusing on that cycle in the hepatitis A virus (HAV), UNC School of Medicine scientists discovered that replication requires specific interactions between the human protein ZCCHC14 and a group of enzymes called TENT4 poly(A) polymerases. They also found that the oral compound RG7834 … [Read more...]

Scientists identify new therapeutic target in ovarian cancer subtype with poor prognosis

September 29, 2021 By Namita Nayyar (WF Team)

Mutations in the ARID1A gene are present in more than 50% of ovarian clear cell carcinomas (OCCC), for which effective treatments are lacking. Scientists at The Wistar Institute discovered that loss of ARID1A function enhances a cellular stress response pathway that promotes survival of cancer cells, which become sensitive to pharmacological inhibition of this pathway.

Potential role of ‘junk DNA’ Sequence in Aging, Cancer

July 29, 2021 By Namita Nayyar (WF Team)

The human body is essentially made up of trillions of living cells. It ages as its cells age, which happens when those cells eventually stop replicating and dividing. Scientists have long known that genes influence how cells age and how long humans live, but how that works exactly remains unclear. Findings from a new study led by researchers at Washington State University have … [Read more...]

Parkinson’s, Cancer, Type 2 Diabetes Share a Key Element That Drives Disease

April 10, 2021 By Namita Nayyar (WF Team)

When cells are stressed, chemical alarms go off, setting in motion a flurry of activity that protects the cell's most important players. During the rush, a protein called Parkin hurries to protect the mitochondria, the power stations that generate energy for the cell. Now Salk researchers have discovered a direct link between a master sensor of cell stress and Parkin itself. … [Read more...]

Bacteria may Aid Anti-Cancer Immune Response

March 30, 2021 By Namita Nayyar (WF Team)

Cancer immunotherapy may get a boost from an unexpected direction: bacteria residing within tumor cells. In a new study published in Nature, researchers at the Weizmann Institute of Science and their collaborators have discovered that the immune system "sees" these bacteria and shown they can be harnessed to provoke an immune reaction against the tumor. The study may also help … [Read more...]

Deep Vision: Near-infrared imaging and machine learning can identify hidden tumors

February 4, 2021 By Namita Nayyar (WF Team)

Tumors can be damaging to surrounding blood vessels and tissues even if they're benign. If they're malignant, they're aggressive and sneaky, and often irrevocably damaging. In the latter case, early detection is key to treatment and recovery. But such detection can sometimes require advanced imaging technology, beyond what is available commercially today. For instance, some … [Read more...]

Brake on immune activity identified, raising new possibilities for anticancer therapy

Brake on immune activity identified, raising new possibilities for anticancer therapy

April 9, 2020 By Namita Nayyar (WF Team)

  The immune system is like a carefully regulated machine, complete with its own built-in "brakes" that prevent it from overreacting and causing excess inflammation in otherwise healthy tissues. This preventative safety net, however, is highly vulnerable, particularly in cancer, where tumor cells step on the brakes constantly, because doing so allows the tumor cells to … [Read more...]

B cells linked to immunotherapy for melanoma

September 16, 2019 By Namita Nayyar (WF Team)

Immunotherapy is a form of cancer treatment that uses the body's own immune system to recognise and fight the disease. It comes in a variety of forms, including cancer vaccines, targeted antibodies or tumour-infecting viruses. Only some cancer patients currently benefit from this kind of therapy.

Cancers ‘change spots’ to avoid immunotherapy

Cancers can make themselves harder for new immunotherapies to see by 'changing their spots' -- and switching off a key molecule on the surface of cells that is otherwise recognised by treatment. Researchers found that they could test samples from patients with bowel cancer to identify which were most likely to respond to immunotherapy by assessing molecular changes … [Read more...]
