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

The fight against breast cancer violence

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 but also the formation of metastases to other organs

The findings are of great importance because they may allow diagnosis and preventive treatment before the appearance of the fatal metastases

A gene control mechanism has been discovered that will make it possible to improve treatments for breast cancer and other types of cancer

Dr. Ofir Hakim from the Faculty of Life Sciences at Bar-Ilan University shifts the focus from the mutations to the control mechanisms that control the genes that cause the disease. The secret lies in the way the DNA helix is ​​folded inside our cells. Researchers from the Hebrew University and Al-Quds University are also partners in the study.
