Breast cancer in its various forms affects more than 250,000 Americans a year. One particularly aggressive and hard-to-treat type is triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), which lacks specific receptors targeted by existing ...

New research signals a quantum leap for brain tumor treatment

Researchers have discovered a new way to target and kill cancer cells in hard-to-treat brain tumors using electrically charged molecules to trigger self-destruction, which could be developed into a spray treatment used during ...

Hybrid nanoparticles shine new light on targeting cancer cells

Scientists at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) have developed a new approach to potentially detect and kill cancer cells, especially those that form a solid tumor mass. They have created hybrid nanoparticles made of ...

Capturing the chemistry of radium-223 for cancer treatment

Scientists need a better understanding of the chemistry of radium to be able to target the isotope radium-223 (Ra-223) to cancer cells. Once delivered, Ra-223 can destroy those cells with alpha particles, a type of radiation.
