An "AI scientist," working in collaboration with human scientists, has found that combinations of cheap and safe drugs—used to treat conditions such as high cholesterol and alcohol dependence ...

Test results of the peptide on breast cancer cells revealed a response comparable to that of paclitaxel, a chemotherapy drug commonly used to treat the disease.

The protective effects extend beyond cancer cells to include preservation of immune system function, maintenance of muscle mass, and protection of vital organs from treatment-related toxicity.

Ferroptosis—a type of programmed cell death —occurs when the accumulation of iron triggers excessive oxidation of fats in cell membranes, ultimately causing the cell to break down. Cancer ...

But they sometimes fail to kill cancer cells when doses are reduced to avoid side effects, or because not enough of the drug can penetrate the inner regions of a solid tumour.

These cells play a unique role in immune system physiology and are affected in cancer patients, explained José Alexandre Marzagão Barbuto, a professor at ICB-USP and the project’s coordinator.

Then there are “regulatory” T cells, which help keep the immune response in check, so it doesn't mistakenly harm healthy tissue. A recently published study in Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & ...

It's been known since at least the 1960s that blood cells tend to lose Y chromosomes as men age, but the fact that this chromosomal disappearing act is associated with a shorter lifespan, higher ...
