Scientists Just Reversed A Form Of Molecular Damage Thought To Be Permanent

The potential applications are wide. CMLase could in theory be formulated as eye drops to clear AGEs from the lens, applied to restore elasticity in stiffened blood vessels, or used to treat skin.

AI Alignment Is No Longer A Thought Experiment, And That's A Problem

For the hundreds of millions of people living in hurricane-prone coastlines around the world, an extra day of reliable warning is not an incremental improvement. It is, in the most literal sense, a matter of life and death.

An Experimental Pediatric Cancer Treatment Shows Promise In New Research

A single infusion of the cells last year resulted in a complete remission. The boy just came in for his follow-up, Seitz says. More than a year later, he still has no detectable signs of cancer.

Glaucoma Drugs Could One Day Be Used To Treat Breast Cancer

Glaucoma drugs could potentially be repurposed to treat aggressive breast cancer after researchers identified markers linked to response.

Cancer Treatment Timing May Influence Survival And Toxicity

Morning immunotherapy and chronomodulated chemotherapy were linked with improved treatment outcomes.

New Analysis Explains Why Bone Marrow Cancer T Cells May Need Therapeutic Activation

A specific group of tumor-reactive T cells can recognize and, in principle, fight cancer cells but is often not sufficiently activated.

Being More Active Reduces Cancer Risk

Replacing 15 minutes of sleep or sedentary behaviour with 15 minutes of movement are each linked to a two per cent reduced risk of cancer, new UCL research has found.

Manchester Scientists Discover New Window Of Opportunity To Treat Brain Cancer

Scientists have found a new window of opportunity to attack aggressive brain cancer with chemotherapy.

What Comes After Understanding Cancer Biology? New Ways To Act On It

The future of cancer research will not be defined by a single discovery, but by the ability to connect deeper biological insights and act on them — translating that understanding into more meaningful outcomes for patients.

Cancer Research Report Reveals That Ageing Is A Key Reason For Rising Cancer Cases In The UK

A report by Cancer Research has revealed that ageing is the key reason for cancer cases rising in the UK with older people less likely to receive treatment for their cancer than younger people.

Study Reveals Why DNA Damage From Smoking And UV Rays May Cause Cancer In Some People But Not Others

This finding could change our understanding of how cancer starts, and lead to more powerful and precise ways of tackling cancer.
