Nandini Pharasi, Jaypee Institute of Information Technology Oral cancer, also known as mouth cancer develops in any part of the mouth due to genetic mutations. The reasons for this could be the usage of tobacco, heavy liquor, or human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. Symptoms include a lump or a red or white patch inside the mouth […]
Shayan Ahmed, Jamia Millia Islamia, New Delhi Endometrial cancer (EC) is the most prevalent gynaecological cancer, with endometrioid adenocarcinoma accounting for the majority of cases. Surgical intervention is considered to be the most radical type of treatment. Therefore, adjuvant radiotherapy is advised for certain patient subgroups for endometrial cancer treatment. To remove microscopic disease in […]
Vaishnavi Kardale, Bioinformatics Centre, Savitribai Phule Pune University To grow, cells have to divide. A single cell divides into two, and then four, and so on. Finally, we turn into a body with trillions of cells. Each cell undergoes differentiation to get its specialized function. From this, it might be quite clear how essential cell […]
Sayak Banerjee, Amity University Kolkata The scientists at the University of Leeds have discovered a new method of targeting a mutated protein, which is the reason behind most of the fatal cancers. The mutated form of RAS protein is often considered the “Death Star” since it has the potential to resist various treatments. Although RAS […]
Madhavi Bhatia, NIPER Guwahati. The gut flora of humans acts as a major factor that influences the health of an individual. The microbiome may affect the disease progression and response to immunotherapy. So, the gut microbiome can act as a cancer biomarker. For analyzing this high throughput 16S-rRNA-gene-based approach is utilized to detect a genuine […]
Shayan Ahmed, Jamia Millia Islamia, New Delhi Cancer stem cells (CSCs) have recently been discovered in a number of different cancers, including pancreatic cancers. These are called pancreatic cancer stem cells (PCSCs). Pancreatic cancer is a frequently occurring cancer with a bad prognosis. Evidence suggests that sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) has biological activities that contribute to […]
Shayan Ahmed, Jamia Millia Islamia, New Delhi It has been discovered that Cyclin-Dependent Kinase 9 (CDK9) is an important regulator of RNA Polymerase II transcription. As a regulator CDK9 works across the transcription unit at multiple locations. These include the transcriptional pause release before elongation by the action of positive transcription elongation factor b (P-TEFb). […]
Ananya Dutta, Bose Institute The contribution of several nutrients to cancer cells’ biosynthetic, bioenergetic, and antioxidant requirements has been intensively researched over the last decade. The connection between cancer genetics and metabolic rewiring, in particular, has resulted in significant findings, opening up new treatment avenues for certain cancer types. Clinicians are interested in how food […]
Ananya Dutta, Bose Institute This is the aphorism of Memorial Sloan Kettering (MSK) Cancer Center, New York, USA. At MSK it is believed that immunotherapy is one of the most promising treatments to treat, cure, and eventually prevent cancer. Immunotherapy cradled from MSK about more than a century ago. William Coley (1893), a surgeon at […]
Sayak Banerjee, Amity University Kolkata Scientists have come over a class of drugs utilized in the treatment of breast and ovarian cancer which might be effective in other types of diseases with inadequate treatment alternatives. These are called PARP inhibitors which have the potential to kill cancer cells carrying a defect in the Polybromo 1(PBRM1) […]
