Photodynamic treatments for human health and the food supply: Light compounds being developed that will fight microbial infections and cancer

A new field of medical science is emerging from six universities and five partner organizations in Europe. The POLYTHEA project, coordinated at the University of Limoges, aims to train doctorate candidates in the field of photodynamic treatments. Researchers are learning how to develop active light compounds that fight cancer and microbial infections. The new field […]

Folk medicine plants from Mexico and Central America found to have anticancer potential

A study found that the stem and root extracts of native plants from Mexico could be possibly used as a source of anticancer treatment. A team of researchers from the University in Mexico and Technological University of the Mixteca in Mexico investigated the potential anticancer effects of eight folk medicinal plants from Mexico. For the […]

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 […]

Ancient natural substance may be the newest treatment for cancer: Scorpion venom found to be effective at identifying brain tumors

In 2014, brain cancer physician and Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center researcher Dr. Jim Olson unveiled a new approach to battling cancer. Dubbed “Tumor Paint,” the substance works by seeking and attaching itself to tumor cells, illuminating these cells to make them easier for surgeons to cut out. This technique has proven to work on […]

That’s hot: New self-regulating nanoparticles heat up to kill cancer cells, then cool before harming healthy tissue

Scientists from the University of Surrey in Guildford, England have given rise to “intelligent” nanoparticles which heat up to a temperature that is high enough to eradicate carcinogenic cells but which then control themselves and lose heat before they get hot enough to harm healthy tissue. This breakthrough is seen as a way to treat […]

New science confirms eating turmeric every day reverses cancer

A report in the British Medical Journal illustrates how a woman has beaten blood cancer with the help of turmeric. In 2007, 67-year-old Dieneke Ferguson was diagnosed with myeloma and she progressed to stage three within 15 months. Three failed rounds of chemotherapy and four failed stem cell transplants later, doctors told her she had […]
