Researchers at the University of Ghent, Belgium, have shed new light on the mechanisms behind Interleukin-6 (IL-6) gene expression in breast cancer cells. The study reveals that IL-6, a key player in cancer-related inflammation, acts as an autocrine and paracrine growth factor, promoting angiogenesis, metastasis, and immune system subversion. By

A major obstacle in cancer treatment is the rapid development of drug resistance in cancer cells. To combat this, scientists have identified a new agent that shows promise in overcoming drug resistance and selectively killing cancer cells. Researchers at the University of Minnesota developed a compound called ethyl 2-amino-6-(3&
