A nano-sized polymer, developed and tested on mice by a research team from Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU) in Beersheba that can selectively deliver chemotherapeutic drugs to blood vessels that feed tumors and metastases, has emerged as an effective treatment for advanced cancer. The polymer eliminates colorectal cancer liver metastases and prolongs mice survival, […]

Immunotherapy matched to a specific patient to successfully treat patients using biological personalized medicine depends on suiting them to each other – but the technique is very complicated. Now, researchers at the Ruth and Bruce Rappaport Faculty of Medicine and the Rappaport Family Institute for Research in the Medical Sciences at the Technion-Israel Institute of […]

A revolutionary new treatment for cancer called mRNA therapy is being given to patients at the Amersmith Hospital in West London. This treatment is intended to assess the safety and efficacy of treating melanoma (skin cancer), lung cancer, and other solid tumors. The new treatment uses mRNA (messenger RNA), and works by presenting common signals […]

A study done at Haifa’s Technion-Israel Institute of Technology shows that cell typing based on the expression of metabolic genes makes it possible to predict the patient’s response to immunotherapy. The researchers created a tool to predict which patients will respond to this therapy based on this therapy that shows the importance of metabolism in […]

Winning on the battlefield takes a combination of determined soldiers and precise intelligence, but when it comes to the battle against cancer, the immune system’s fighters – the T cells – quickly lose their ability to kill and become exhausted, while the intelligence-providing dendritic cells (DCs) are scarce. Now, researchers at the Weizmann Institute of […]
