By releasing the brakes that tumor cells place on the immune system, researchers are developing a new generation of more powerful treatments against malignancy
over one billion years of evolution, pinpointing the exact evolutionary shifts that caused Gleevec to bind well with one and poorly with the other. This new approach to researching enzymes and their binding sites may have a major impact on the development of rational drugs to fight cancer. ...
Stem Cells Delivered Oncolytic Virus to Destroy Formidable Brain Tumor. In brain cancer therapy, various treatment options are available such as surgical resection, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy to fight against malignant cells. But none of the available therapies did not show any promising therapeutic...
This group of naturally derived drugs is used to treat congestive heart failure and cardiac arrhythmias. The scientists tested five glycosides (convallatoxin, digitoxin A, digoxin, oleandrin, proscillaridin) against laboratory cultures of human colon cancer cells and found that the drugs were all ...
Scientists searching for new drugs to fight malaria have identified a number of compounds—some of which are currently in clinical trials to treat cancer—that could add to the anti-malarial arsenal. Duke University assistant professor Emily Derbyshire and colleagues identified more than 30 enzyme-blo...
