AI tool helps optimize antibody medicines
Machine learning points out why antibodies fail to stay on target, binding to molecules that aren’t markers of disease—and suggests better designs.
-
How sound waves trigger immune responses to cancer in mice
Technique pioneered at the University of Michigan could improve outcomes for cancer and neurological conditions.
-
Tracking radiation treatment in real time promises safer, more effective cancer therapy
The ability to accurately detect where X-rays land and in what dose could reduce the collateral damage from radiation therapy.
-
Shutting down backup genes leads to cancer remission, in mice
Cancer cells delete DNA when they go to the dark side, so a team of doctors and engineers targeted the “backup plans” running critical cell functions.
-
$2.38M to test nano-engineered brain cancer treatment in mice
A protein that crosses the blood-brain barrier carries a drug that kills tumor cells and another that activates the immune system.
-
Tumors partially destroyed with sound don’t come back, in rats
Technique pioneered at the University of Michigan could improve outcomes for cancer and neurological conditions.
-
Glioblastoma nanomedicine crosses into brain in mice, eradicates recurring brain cancer
‘I’ve worked in this field for more than 10 years and have not seen anything like this.’

Study suggests method to starve pancreatic cancer cells
Rather than attacking cancer cells directly, new cell-model research probes weaknesses in pancreatic cancer’s interactions with other cells to obtain nutrients needed for tumor growth.

Cancer: Faster screening to hit “undruggable” targets
Coiled proteins could stop cancer and other diseases from overriding signals within cells.
-
Implantable cancer traps could provide earlier diagnosis and help monitor treatment
Synthetic scaffolding could detect multiple types of cancers before they start to spread.
-
Patient cancer cells reliably grow on new 3D scaffold, showing promise for precision medicine
While previous structures guessed at the environment that cells would want, the new design lets the cells build to their own specifications.
