A new triple therapy treatment completely eliminated pancreatic tumors in mice, offering hope for one of the deadliest cancers. The breakthrough could transform treatment for the 67,000 Americans diagnosed each year.
Revolutionary DNA profiling technology now diagnoses brain tumors with 95% accuracy, helping doctors personalize treatment for 90,000 Americans diagnosed annually. From molecular fingerprinting to new ways of crossing the brain's protective barrier, researchers are turning one of medicine's toughest challenges into a story of hope.
Only 12% of brain tumor patients in the UK join clinical trials—the lowest rate of all cancers. A new initiative called ACT-BT is changing that by connecting patients with potentially life-saving research opportunities.
Surgeons now have a proven roadmap for removing brain tumors more safely and effectively, thanks to breakthrough research analyzing 1,391 patients across 16 medical centers. The new classification system shows that removing more tumor tissue dramatically extends survival, even for tumors once thought too risky to touch.
Researchers at the University of Waterloo have engineered bacteria that naturally thrive without oxygen to invade and consume cancer tumors from their oxygen-starved cores. The breakthrough includes a safety switch that only activates the bacteria's survival mechanism when enough have gathered inside the tumor, preventing them from spreading to healthy tissue.
Researchers turned a common probiotic into a cancer-fighting machine that seeks out tumors and delivers treatment directly inside them. In mice, the engineered bacteria successfully infiltrated tumors and released powerful anticancer drugs right where they were needed most.
A girl battling a brain tumor is finding every Kirsty in the world to join her mission funding cancer research. She's already connected with 1,000 Kirstys across the globe and raised £120,000.
Researchers in Tokyo have discovered a gene that causes dangerous insulin tumors, opening the door to better treatments for patients who suffer life-threatening blood sugar crashes. The breakthrough could transform care for people with insulinomas, tumors that have puzzled doctors for decades.
Scientists at the University of Waterloo are teaching bacteria to hunt down and devour cancer tumors in places chemotherapy struggles to reach. The specially modified microbes thrive in oxygen-free tumor cores, offering hope for a completely new approach to fighting cancer.
Leading autism researchers and advocates formed a new independent committee to guide autism research priorities and counter recent federal changes. The group aims to unite the autism community and protect evidence-based research as funding reaches $568 million annually.
Patients with low-grade brain tumors in England and Wales can now access vorasidenib, the first new adult brain tumor treatment approved in the UK in two decades. The drug helps patients delay harsh chemotherapy and radiotherapy treatments while living longer without their disease progressing.
Patients in England with low-grade brain tumors can now access a groundbreaking pill that slows disease and cuts seizures by 64%. It's the first new brain tumor treatment approved in the UK in two decades.
Researchers in Spain have eliminated pancreatic tumors in mice using a groundbreaking triple-drug combination. The approach tackles one of the deadliest cancers by preventing treatment resistance.
A scientist who revolutionized protein research is now tackling science's reproducibility crisis with AI. His new approach could help researchers separate reliable studies from questionable ones, speeding up cures for diseases like Alzheimer's.
Researchers discovered how cancer reprograms defender cells into tumor allies—and identified a single molecule that could help doctors track and stop the switch. This breakthrough offers new hope for personalized cancer treatment.
Scientists now have access to an AI tool that filters through 150 years of research data to deliver trustworthy answers in seconds. CAS Newton helps researchers move from question to verified answer without drowning in information overload.
When US funding cuts threatened to collapse decades of life-saving health research in South Africa, the country fought back with a $32 million rescue package. Now 59 critical HIV and tuberculosis research projects are moving forward.
Scientists created a 3D chip that mimics human tumors so accurately it could replace animal testing in cancer research. The breakthrough means faster, more precise treatments tailored for actual human biology.
Researchers at the University of Rochester discovered that cancer cells consume glutathione as fuel, and they've found a drug that can block this food source. This breakthrough, published in Nature, could lead to new treatments that kill tumors without harming healthy cells.
South Korea is creating a new research movement to produce globally recognized scientists like Jane Goodall by focusing on uniquely Korean topics. The K-Science initiative aims to blend the nation's culture, history, and environment with cutting-edge research.
