Researchers in Nanjing, People's Republic of China, have been exploring the potential of nanomedicine in treating gastritis and gastric cancer. According to a recent study, nanomedicine has emerged as a promising therapeutic approach, particularly through targeted drug delivery systems and combination therapies. This research aims to improve the
Cancer research
Cancer remains a complex global health challenge due to its resistant nature to conventional treatments. A recent study by Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi researchers sheds light on innovative solutions in cancer gene therapy, exploring how nanoparticle-based strategies can enhance the efficacy of chemotherapy, radiotherapy, phototherapy, immunotherapy, and gene
Cancer research
According to a recent study published in the Microchemical Journal, electrochemical biosensors have emerged as promising diagnostic tools in oncology research. These devices offer rapid response, high sensitivity, multiplexing capabilities, and potential for miniaturization, making them ideal for early cancer detection and monitoring. The study, led by researchers at the
Cancer research
California Cancer Associates for Research and Excellence (cCARE) has reported a data breach that occurred at its Fresno branch, resulting in unauthorized access to patient information held in email and SharePoint accounts. The breach, which was discovered on December 16, 2024, may have compromised sensitive information, including patient names, addresses,
Cancer research
Sona Nanotech Inc has dosed the first patient in an early feasibility study of its Targeted Hyperthermia Therapy (THT) cancer treatment, which aims to modify tumors making them more visible to the immune system, thereby enabling an elimination of the cancer. The study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and preliminary
Cancer research
Investigators at Kaiser Permanente Oakland Medical Center in California have conducted a study on racial/ethnic disparities in lung cancer surgery outcomes among patients undergoing pulmonary resections. The research, published in the journal Epidemiologia, aimed to assess these disparities by analyzing data from a large, multicenter, and ethnically diverse integrated
Cancer research
Researchers at Cambridge University have created a more comfortable and accurate way to collect potentially harmful cells from the cervix, which comes at a critical time when 3 in 10 people in England are overdue for their cervical screening appointments. This latest breakthrough builds on decades of life-saving innovations from
Cancer research
A new study published in the International Journal of Plant Biology has found that glucosinolates, sulfur-containing compounds found in cruciferous vegetables, play a significant role in cancer prevention. The research, conducted by researchers at Kentucky State University, investigated the genetic and environmental factors that influence the glucosinolate content of cruciferous
Cancer research
Researchers at the Institute for Cancer Research and Treatment (IRCCS) Neuromedicine have published a comprehensive review of the advancements in hemostasis genetics over the past five decades. The study highlights the transition from understanding rare Mendelian disorders to exploring complex traits influencing cardiovascular disease risk. By analyzing the historical development
Cancer research
Researchers at China Pharmaceutical University have made a significant breakthrough in cancer gene therapy, developing a targeted delivery system that uses nanocrystals to deliver anti-inflammatory baicalein and miR138 gene therapy against pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). This innovative approach has shown promising results in improving pulmonary hemodynamics and reducing PA thickness
