The body’s defences detect and eliminate not only pathogens but also tumour cells.
Dogs share more than just our homes – they also share similar cancers and genetics. Research into gliomas recently received a helping hand from our four-legged friends.
Profiling gamma-retrovirus integration sites may be a new tool to identify genes promoting specific cancers.
Devil facial tumor disease is a contagious cancer threatening to wipe out Tasmanian devils. Now, researchers have identified a second form of transmissible cancer in the animals.
Almost every second dog above the age of ten years develops cancer. Modern tumor therapy combines surgery, radiation therapy and novel drug treatment options.
In the first published results from a $386,000 National Cancer Institute grant awarded earlier this year, a paper by Scott Verbridge and Rafael Davalos in Scientific Reports has been published.
Elephants rarely develop cancer, and researchers have uncovered new information on why this is in a new study. The findings may shed light on cancer suppression in humans.
