Experimental blood test can detect tumors in asymptomatic people

When it comes to cancer, early detection is crucial. The sooner a tumor is found, the better the chances for successful treatments and outcomes. However, cancer doesn’t always present noticeable symptoms until it has progressed. Scientists are racing to develop tools for early diagnosis, and a liquid biopsy method now shows promise in detecting traces […]

Plant-derived Vesicle-like Nanoparticles

Introduction Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are membranous structures located outside of cellular boundaries, exhibiting diameters ranging from 40–1000 nm.1 Furthermore, these substances are sourced from organic entities and cellular structures, encompassing plants, animals, and microorganisms.2 EVs were found to participate in the horizontal transfer of bioactive cargos, including proteins, nucleic acids (DNA, mRNA, and microRNA), as […]

MALAT1 expression is associated with aggressive behavior in indolent B-cell neoplasms

Abstract MALAT1 long non-coding RNA has oncogenic roles but has been poorly studied in indolent B-cell neoplasms. Here, MALAT1 expression was analyzed using RNA-seq, microarrays or qRT-PCR in primary samples from clinico-biological subtypes of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL, n = 266), paired Richter transformation (RT, n = 6) and follicular lymphoma (FL, n = 61). In peripheral blood (PB) CLL samples, […]

Ovarian Cancer: Best Practices for Managing PARP Inhibitor Side Effects

Oncologists treating ovarian cancer need to be proactive to prevent or reduce the likelihood of adverse effects associated with poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors, noted authors of a review in the ASCO Educational Book. William Tew, MD, of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York City, and colleagues discuss strategies to improve tolerance to […]
