In a significant effort to find alternative treatments for head and neck cancer patients who cannot use cisplatin due to its harmful side effects, researchers conducted a new clinical trial that unfortunately provided discouraging results. Cisplatin is a widely used chemotherapy drug known for its
Cancer biology has traditionally emphasized the competitive nature of tumor cells as they compete fiercely for limited resources. However, recent research led by Carlos Carmona-Fontaine at New York University has unveiled a groundbreaking and surprising discovery that cancer cells also exhibit
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a devastating genetic disorder that progressively deteriorates muscle function, posing a major challenge for patients and their families. Recently, a promising breakthrough has emerged in the form of Solid Biosciences' experimental gene therapy, SGT-003, which
The intersection of biotechnology and artificial intelligence (AI) is poised to address the inefficiencies and ethical concerns plaguing the current drug development process. One of the most promising innovations in this field is the Bio-AI clinical prediction platform developed by Quris-AI, which
Cancer metastasis remains one of the most challenging aspects of cancer treatment, significantly impacting patient survival rates. Recent research has shed light on the crucial role of the extracellular matrix (ECM) in influencing cancer cell behavior and metastasis. Understanding these
Chordoma, a rare bone cancer affecting about one in a million people, has long been a medical enigma. Historically, the lack of understanding and effective treatments has rendered it untreatable. However, recent breakthroughs by Professor Paul Workman and his team offer new hope. This article
