X-rays light up brain tumor cells – then selectively destroy them
Posted by ArielTechGeek 273 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
X-rays are known to penetrate the body’s deep tissues, which is why they’re used to deliver cancer radiotherapy. Whereas radiotherapy uses X-ray beams to damage tumor cells’ DNA, killing them, photodynamic therapy uses a different method to achieve the same result. The photons in laser beams are used to excite light-reactive molecules called photosensitizers that have been placed in tumors, causi
"Pickpocket" bacteria steal tumor DNA for accurate cancer diagnoses
Posted by ArielTechGeek 580 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Certain gut bacteria have been linked to colon cancer, but now they might get a chance at redemption. Scientists have engineered “pickpocket” bacteria to detect colorectal cancer, with a 100% success rate in mouse tests.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Bacteria, Cancer, UC San Diego, DNA, Diagnose, Diagnosis, Tumor, Tumors
New method of analyzing tumor samples may make pathologists obsolete
Posted by ArielTechGeek 695 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Determining changes in the physical properties of cells is crucial to diagnosing and treating some diseases, such as cancer. But a diagnosis requires the expertise of a pathologist. A team of scientists has developed a quick and simple method of analyzing tissue biopsies for cancer that might make pathologists a thing of the past.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Cancer, Cancer Tiss
Insight into tumor cells' organanization offers hope for new treatment
Posted by ArielTechGeek 727 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
It’s well known that the engine room of cells, the mitochondria, have a key role in fueling cancer growth. Treatments have targeted these microscopic organelles in many ways, including by blocking their food source to inhibit energy production, knocking them out with a cocktail of drugs and using their output as an early sign of cancer.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Lung cancer,
