A “Living Medicine:” engineered E. coli shrink tumors in mice.

National Cancer Institute, 11/12/2024

In the first study, the researchers engineered E. coli to deliver small bits of tumor proteins to immune cells. Like giving a search-and-rescue dog an old T-shirt of a missing person, the bacteria show the immune cells what the tumor looks like so they can find and attack it...

Machine learning reveals a functional network of genes and proteins in human cancer

MedicalXpress, 11/12/2024

This study highlights the great potential of integrating machine learning and proteogenomic profiling to gain a deeper understanding of complex cancer systems...

Lipid imbalances hold the key to chronic inflammation in colon cancer.

News-Medical, 12/12/2024

The study found that colorectal cancer tissues exhibit a significant pro-inflammatory lipid profile compared to normal tissues. The quantitative lipidomics analysis identified elevated levels of AA-derived mediators, including leukotrienes and 5-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (5-HETE),...
