Tumor-on-a-chip reveals how pancreatic cancer hijacks immune cells

University of Miami Miller School of Medicine
Peer-Reviewed Publication

A new tumor-on-a-chip model lets Sylvester researchers watch how pancreatic cancer co-opts immune cells in real time, revealing how tumors build defenses that resist treatment. The findings point to possible ways to disrupt those signals and make resistant tumors more vulnerable to therapy.

Dana-Farber research supports FDA approval of new therapy for “double-positive” metastatic breast cancer

Dana-Farber Cancer Institute
Business Announcement

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved a new therapy regimen for patients with “double-positive” metastatic breast cancer based on results of the phase 3 PATINA study led by Otto Metzger, MD, Associate Medical Director of International Strategic Initiatives at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. The PATINA trial demonstrated that the addition of the CDK 4/6 inhibitor palbociclib to standard therapy in patients with hormone receptor-positive (HR+), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-positive (HER2+) metastatic breast cancer resulted in a more than 15-month improvement in progression-free survival. The findings were reported in the New England Journal of Medicine and also presented at the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium in December 2024.

Men may be more likely than women to receive later-stage diagnoses for many cancer types in the United States

American Association for Cancer Research
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Between 2015 and 2022, men were more likely than women to be diagnosed with regional and/or distant stages of 20 nonreproductive solid cancer types in the United States, according to a study published in Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR).

Molecular nanostructures can be activated using ultrasound

Heinrich-Heine University Duesseldorf
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Researchers from Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf (HHU) have taken an important step toward developing intelligent molecular materials. The team headed by Dr Bernd M. Schmidt (Institute of Organic Chemistry and Macromolecular Chemistry) and Professor Dr Jan Meisner (Institute of Physical Chemistry) has shown that complex molecular nanostructures can be selectively activated, disassembled in a controlled way and even reassembled again using ultrasound. The results have now been published in the renowned scientific journal Nature Communications. These findings could, for example, aid the development of more targeted cancer medication in the future.

New brush test detects oral cancer in one hour

Queen Mary University of London
Peer-Reviewed Publication

A paper published in the Nature journal Biomarker Research by a cross-University team led by Queen Mary University of London researchers, validates the use of a non-invasive brush biopsy test that can detect oral cancer within one hour. This inexpensive test could revolutionise oral cancer detection, and prevent unnecessary (painful) scalpel biopsies.
