Scientists track down cancer immunity genes with new barcoding technology

This technology will be key to finding disease-causing genes, and their drug targets: Researcher.

Coded light-emitting nano particles can help detect and diagnose cancer

The technique has the potential to provide a low-invasive method of determining if breast cancer.

Women in Science: What Sonam Mehrotra's studies on DNA replication and damage mean for cancer research

This week, in our #WomenInScience series, we're profiling the work of ACTREC's cancer biologist Sonam Mehrotra

Researchers develop micro-robots which diagnose and deliver drugs in remote areas of human body

The robots, which measured about the size of a blood cell, were guided magnetically to sites in the stomach of rats.

Indian scientists are testing dendritic therapy in the fight against cervical cancer

Cancer of the uterine cervix, also known as cervical cancer, is the second leading cause of cancer deaths among women in India.

Researchers discover antibody that can help kill cancer cells

Researchers have found that an antibody — originally developed for studying the autoimmune condition multiple sclerosis — can promote the immune system's ability to fight cancer and decreases tumour growth.

Here's how cancer cells become invisible to body's immune system

Canadian researchers have discovered how cancer cells become invisible to the body's immune system which may help in developing immune biomarkers that can potentially stop the disease in its tracks.

Researchers have developed new method to kill cancer cells in two hours

Researchers have developed a new, non-invasive method which can kill cancer cells in two hours, an advance that may significantly help people with inoperable or hard-to-reach tumours, as well as young children stricken with the deadly disease.

Researchers identify new compound to kill cancer cells

A small molecule that resets the 'biological clock' of cancer cells can help shrink tumour growth and lead to potential new therapy to treat cancer, says a research.

Mexican researchers develop chip to detect tumour cells

A group of young Mexican researchers has developed a low-cost technology that detects tumour cells in a blood sample.
