Student’s Science Project With Bird Poop Leads To Discovery Of Cancer-Fighting Compound

Young school students from the James R Jordan Boys and Girls Club in Chicago made a groundbreaking discovery while studying goose poop in a local park. The school students, under the supervision of researchers from the University of Illinois and Professor Brian Murphy at Chicago, identified a potential cancer-fighting compound. The students participated in a…

Indian Institute of Science study reveals how cancer cells adapt while moving across tissues

Cells navigating through a tissue-like environment showing diverse shapes and morphologies. | Photo Credit: special arrangement A new study from the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) shows how inherent variations in a cancer cell and its interactions with its surroundings mould its migration. The findings, published in Biophysical Journal, reveal that cancer cells seem to…

Using the body’s own defences to fight cancer: new research offers a clue from COVID-19

Broadly speaking, cancer is a rogue colony of body cells that grow uncontrollably, feed on the body’s resources, and spread to other parts of the body through the bloodstream | Photo Credit: Getty Images Cancer, often called the “emperor of all maladies,” remains a formidable adversary despite decades of scientific progress. However, research in recent…
