Gut Bacteria May Hold Key to Unlocking Better Cancer Treatment

June 12, 2025 By Namita Nayyar (Editor in chief)

Scientists have discovered a range of 'biomarkers' that could help to improve detection and treatment of gastrointestinal diseases (GIDs) such as gastric cancer (GC), colorectal cancer (CRC), and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Researchers found that certain gut bacteria and metabolites are linked to each disease -- suggesting that these biomarkers could help in early, … [Read more...]

Ginger vs. Cancer: Natural Compound Targets Tumor Metabolism

June 12, 2025 By Namita Nayyar (Editor in chief)

Looking to nature for answers to complex questions can reveal new and unprecedented results that can even affect cells on molecular levels. For instance, human cells oxidize glucose to produce ATP (adenosine triphosphate), an energy source necessary for life. Cancer cells produce ATP through glycolysis, which does not utilize oxygen even under conditions where oxygen is … [Read more...]

How Bacteria in our Aging Guts can Elevate Risk of Leukemia and Perhaps More

May 1, 2025 By Namita Nayyar (Editor in chief)

Scientists at Cincinnati Children's along with an international team of researchers have discovered a surprising new connection between gut health and blood cancer risk -- one that could transform how we think about aging, inflammation, and the early stages of leukemia. As we grow older -- or in some cases, when gut health is compromised by disease -- changes in the … [Read more...]

How Hungry Fat Cells could Someday Starve Cancer to Death

February 13, 2025 By Namita Nayyar (Editor in chief)

Scientists transformed energy-storing white fat cells into calorie-burning 'beige' fat. Once implanted, they outcompeted tumors for resources, beating back five different types of cancer in lab experiments. Liposuction and plastic surgery aren't often mentioned in the same breath as cancer. But they are the inspiration for a new approach to treating cancer that uses … [Read more...]

Delivering Medicines with Microscopic Flowers

December 12, 2024 By Namita Nayyar (Editor in chief)

How can medicines be directed to the precise location within the body where they need to act? Scientists have been researching this question for a long time. An example would be delivering cancer drugs directly to a tumour so that they only take effect at this specific location, without causing side effects in the rest of the body. Research is under way to identify carrier … [Read more...]

Cancer Risk Declines in old age, Research Helps Explain why

December 12, 2024 By Namita Nayyar (Editor in chief)

When it comes to cancer, aging is a double-edged sword, researchers are increasingly learning. Age is considered the most important risk factor for cancer. That's because genetic mutations build up in cells over years and decades, and ultimately drive the development of cancer. Now a study from researchers at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) and their … [Read more...]

BMI’s Relation to Cancer Therapy Mortality Risks Not so Straightforward

September 14, 2024 By Namita Nayyar (Editor in chief)

While being overweight increases the risk of developing lifestyle-related diseases, there is a phenomenon known as the obesity paradox where a decreased risk of death has been seen during cancer therapy. However, that paradox might not be the trend for all cancer therapies, an Osaka Metropolitan University team reports in JAMA Network Open, a publication of the American Medical … [Read more...]

Pan-Cancer Analysis Uncovers a New Class of Promising CAR T-Cell Immunotherapy Targets

May 6, 2024 By Namita Nayyar (Editor in chief)

Targeting anti-cancer therapy to affect cancer cells but not healthy cells is challenging. For chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell immunotherapy, where a patient's own immune cells are re-engineered to attack cancer cells, many solid and brain cancers lack an effective target. St. Jude Children's Research Hospital scientists have identified 156 potential targets through a … [Read more...]

Beating By Overheating: New Strategy to Combat Cancer

April 3, 2024 By Namita Nayyar (Editor in chief)

To treat cancer, you have to inhibit cancer cells. Right? Researchers at the Netherlands Cancer Institute did just the opposite. They achieved surprising results by overstimulating cancer cells in the lab and then hitting them at their weak spot: stress. "This goes against the prevailing view." Many new drugs inhibit the processes that cancer cells need to divide rapidly. So … [Read more...]

Dietary Change Starves Cancer Cells, Overcoming Treatment Resistance

November 26, 2022 By Namita Nayyar (Editor in chief)

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...]
