Researchers from Tel Aviv University have identified a link between loss of p53 activity (and sometimes deletions in the short arm of chromosome 17) and the adaptation of breast cancer cells to the brain environment through fatty acid pathways and communication with

The institute's scientists revealed how aggressive breast cancer disrupts the immune response against it, and developed a treatment using an antibody that may be suitable for many types of cancer

A new development may greatly optimize chemotherapy treatment and prevent the development of cancerous metastases in breast cancer

The researchers were able to reduce the risk of developing cancer metastases following the treatment from 52% to only 6% in model animals

In the picture on the right: a histological section of breast cancer tissue (cell nuclei are colored blue). You can see the flow of the nanoparticles (in red) through the blood vessels (in yellow) and their accumulation around the nerve fibers (in green). In the picture on the left: the accumulation of the nanoparticles in cell culture of neurons (in red - the nanoparticles, in blue - the cell nuclei).

Does the cancerous tumor mobilize the nervous system in its favor? hurt him through it

An extensive group of researchers published in Science Advances findings that support the effectiveness of the technology they developed: breast cancer treatment using anesthesia of the nervous system around the tumor. The treatment stopped not only the spread of the tumor
