The field of cancer epigenetics examines how heritable changes in gene regulation - independent of DNA sequence - impact ...

Scientists at UCLA have developed an “off-the-shelf” cell-based immunotherapy that was able to track down and kill pancreatic cancer cells even after they had spread to other organs. In a mouse study, ...

A study published in Briefings in Functional Genomics investigated how epigenetics can modulate human's genetic program -- it can emphasize or silence genes. The new research shows that if epigenetics ...

The collaboration with Fox Chase and its Cancer Epigenetics Institute will help physicians better identify genomic changes that traditional testing methods may miss, thus improving diagnosis and ...

A Japanese-led research team has developed AUN, a groundbreaking immune-independent bacterial cancer therapy that uses two harmonized bacteria to destroy tumors even in patients with weakened immune ...

For the past 20 years, many of the dramatic improvements in cancer outcomes can be attributed to personalized cancer treatments based upon DNA mutations in a tumor. Targeted therapies — often one pill ...

The relationship between inflammation and cancer represents one of the central paradoxes in modern tumor immunology. On one hand, chronic inflammation is a ...

A joint research team led by Professor Eijiro Miyako of the Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (JAIST), in collaboration with Daiichi Sankyo Co., Ltd. and University of Tsukuba, has ...

Cancer treatment has made remarkable strides. New drugs and technologies have changed outcomes for many patients, turning some once-fatal diagnoses into manageable conditions. Yet despite these ...

A compound best known for giving almonds and apricots their aroma may be the key to defeating hard-to-kill cancer cells. Japanese researchers found that benzaldehyde can stop the shape-shifting ...
