Scientists look to the common plum as a potential natural remedy for cancer
The common plum tree (Prunus domestica) could provide a natural means of treating cancer and other multigenic diseases that affect multiple tissues and types of cells. A Pakistani study shows that the plum tree’s edible gum can deliver nanoparticles to target more than one disease. Natural gums are polysaccharides that dissolve in water. They are widely used in medicine […]

Scientists are using light for faster, more accurate cancer detection
Researchers from the Rutgers University-New Brunswick have created a very powerful technique to identify tiny tumors and track their growth using light-radiating nanoparticles. This can lead to earlier cancer detection and more targeted treatment, which can ultimately enhance cure rates and survival times of patients. The study, which was published in Nature Biomedical Engineering, demonstrates that the new strategy is better than magnetic resonance imaging […]

Potato virus found to activate an anti-tumor immune response; it works on its own or in conjunction with traditional cancer treatments
A potato virus may hold the key to triggering an anti-tumor immune response that could help treat cancer, a new study suggests. A team of researchers from Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine have revealed that they have successfully altered virus particles into “cancer drug delivery devices for mice.” However, the team shared that injecting the […]
