Researchers at the Chinese Academy of Sciences have developed a biosensor that can quickly detect how breast cancer responds to paclitaxel. The system, called MetaRing, analyzes tiny biological samples and delivers results in about 10 minutes. The study, published recently, points to faster, more personalized chemotherapy decisions. A research team led by Prof. Wang Hongzhi […]
Scientists have identified immune cell types that could be targeted to develop specific immunotherapies in chemotherapy-resistant breast cancers. Researchers from King’s College London and The Institute of Cancer Research, London, with support from Breast Cancer Now, have performed a deep dive into the different immune markers within tumour tissues and blood samples of early breast […]

One approach to treating cancer is photodynamic therapy using photo-uncaging systems, in which light is used to activate a cancer-fighting agent in situ at the tumor. However, suitable agents must be stable under visible light, have an anti-tumor effect in low-oxygen environments, and have the ability to be activated by low-energy tissue-penetrative red light – a combination of […]
Researchers have discovered that some immunotherapy treatments used to treat cancer can cause fertility damage. It means these treatments could affect the future fertility and hormonal health of female cancer survivors, prompting experts to call for more research and preventative measures, such as freezing eggs. Led by the Biomedicine Discovery Institute at Monash University and […]
