• Estrogenic and anti-estrogenic effects of PFASs could depend on the presence of estrogen October 28, 2020
  Perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) have received intense scrutiny in recent years because of their persistence in the environment and potential endocrine-disrupting effects. However, their estrogenic activities are controversial, with different studies showing apparently contradictory results. Now, researchers have used a combination of laboratory experiments […]
• Cancer treatment without side effects? October 27, 2020
  Treating cancer without debilitating side effects has long been the holy grail of oncologists, and researchers may have found it.
• 'Fast' MRI detects breast cancers that 3-D mammograms may miss October 27, 2020
  In a retrospective study of asymptomatic patients, all of whom had a negative 3-D mammogram within the previous 11 months, abbreviated MRI detected roughly 27 cancers per 1,000 women screened.
• What do breast cancer cells feel inside the tumor? October 27, 2020
  Using a new technique, a team of researchers has found tiny and previously undetectable 'hot spots' of extremely high stiffness inside aggressive and invasive breast cancer tumors. Their findings suggest, for the first time, that only very tiny regions of a tumor need to stiffen for metastasis to take place. Though still in its infancy, the researc […]
• Proton regulator of essential cancer microRNA October 27, 2020
  New findings unveil that a 'hidden' layer of regulation by which the intrinsic dynamic ensemble of miRNA processing intermediates can direct the outcome of important biological processes in response to environmental and cellular stimuli in the absence of protein factors. If these processes go awry, then disease could result. Understanding the roles […]
• New tactic to stop the growth of a deadly brain cancer October 27, 2020
  Scientists have discovered a way to stop the growth of glioblastoma, the deadliest form of brain cancer. The finding provides a new tactic in the war against cancer that involves reprogramming the immune system to do what it does best - fight the tumor instead of fueling it.
• Cancer's dangerous renovations to our chromosomes revealed October 27, 2020
  Cancer remodels the architecture of our chromosomes so the disease can take hold and spread, new research reveals.
