Medicine & TechnologyBrain tumors are particularly difficult to treat because they secrete cytokines that block off the immune system. Read on to find out how a newly developed nanoparticle-carrying inhibitor is able to defeat cancer cells and delay their progression.
Canadian scientists found that wildfires could cause long-term health problems to nearby communities. Learn more about the impacts of these events on people living in the vicinity and how high are their chances of developing forest fire-related diseases.
Researchers found that using smartphones for at least 17 minutes a day for over ten years could cause a 60% increase in the risk of developing cancer and twice the risk of developing a brain tumor.
A recent study of neuronal activities shows that excessive neuronal activities might increase the chances of having a brain tumor. Mice, in place of children, are found to have developing tumors in optical neurons.
Researchers have recently discovered a new way of preventing further cancerous brain tumor growth. The pre-clinical research could lead to changes in how the cancer is treated.
Children who are survived by the cancer therapies after a diagnosis of these type of cancer problems are then threatened by life in terms of increased body fat.
