Scientists have uncovered a biological mechanism that may help explain why breast cancer becomes more dangerous with age. In older mice, breast cancer was far more likely to spread to the lungs, even...

"...glioma cells can take advantage of the same processes the brain uses to repair itself after an injury to help the tumor progress."

New findings show that inhibitory neurons form synapses with glioma cells, suppress tumor growth, and extend survival in mouse and patient-derived models. ...

Recent research from the University of Arizona Health Sciences has brought forth promising news in the fight against prostate cancer. A study has revealed that immunotherapy, which has previously shown limited success in this area, could be reimagined through a novel, dual treatment approach aimed at diminishing tumor growth in prostate cancer tissue samples. This groundbreaking work was published in the esteemed journal…

Revolutionary PAC-MANN Blood Test for Pancreatic Cancer Pancreatic cancer is notorious for being one of the most aggressive forms of the disease, posing a significant challenge for both patients and medical professionals. Its stealthy progression often leads to late diagnoses, making effective treatment difficult. However, researchers are now hopeful about a breakthrough blood test named PAC-MANN that could change the paradigm of how we detect this lethal cancer.

In this episode Editor-in-Chief Dr. Sadis Matalon (University of Alabama Birmingham) interviews author Dr. Laura Crotty Alexander (University of California, San Diego) about the recently published Review article by Masso-Silva et al. on the impact of e-cigarette vaping on the immune system across the body. We discuss in depth how vaping limits the ability of alveolar macrophages to protect the body from pathogens, and cover the impact of vaping on T cells, the powerhouse cells of adaptive immunity, to respond robustly to tumor antigens. Does vaping impact the rate of tumor growth in cancer...
