One of the Mole Rat Longevity Genes Transferred to Mice for Cancer Protection and Life Extension

Researchers at the University of Rochester have successfully transferred a longevity gene from naked mole rats to mice, resulting in improved health and an extension of the mouse’s lifespan. Mole rats can live ten times longer than mice . Naked mole rats, known for their long lifespans and exceptional resistance to age-related diseases, have long …

Promising Drug That Can Kill All Solid Tumor Cancers

Researchers at City of Hope, one of the largest cancer research and treatment organizations in the United States, today published a new study explaining how they took a protein once thought to be too challenging for targeted therapy, proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), and developed a targeted chemotherapy that appears to annihilate all solid tumors …

Complete Remission in All 12 Colorectal Phase 2 Cancer Trial Patients

A total of 12 patients have completed treatment with dostarlimab and have undergone at least 6 months of follow-up. All 12 patients (100%; 95% confidence interval, 74 to 100) had a clinical complete response, with no evidence of tumor on magnetic resonance imaging, 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose–positron-emission tomography, endoscopic evaluation, digital rectal examination, or biopsy. At the time …

Preventing Cancer Metastatis

Cancer biologist Yibin Kang has disabled a key cancer gene MTDH in mice and in human tissue. A human treatment will be ready for human trials in a few years. This could be the key to preventing or stopping cancer metastasis which is the primary cause of death due to cancer. 99% of breast cancer …

AI and Smartphones Are Improving Early Cancer Detection

AI can greatly improve the accuracy of cancer detection from MRI, X-ray and other medical imaging. Approximately 25% of cases of lung cancer diagnosis are missed when doctors check chest x-rays. New AI systems are catching more of the detectable lung cancer cases. An iPhone-based AI system looking for tongue cancer had a detection accuracy …

Genome Editing Anti-cancer System

Researchers at Tel Aviv University have demonstrated that the CRISPR/Cas9 system is very effective in treating metastatic cancers, a significant step on the way to finding a cure for cancer. The researchers developed a novel lipid nanoparticle-based delivery system that specifically targets cancer cells and destroys them by genetic manipulation. The system, called CRISPR-LNPs, carries …

MicroRNA Biomarkers Analyzed for 86% Accurate Cancer Diagnosis

Early and precise cancer diagnosis substantially improves patient survival. Recent work has revealed that the levels of multiple microRNAs in serum are informative as biomarkers for the diagnosis of cancers. Researchers designed a DNA molecular computation platform for the analysis of miRNA profiles in clinical serum samples. A computational classifier is first trained in silico …
