Cancer Cells Can Hibernate to Avoid Chemotherapy
Cancer cells can go into hibernation to avoid effects of chemotherapy. This finding was made by scientists at Weill Cornell Medicine. These findings have implications for developing new drug combinations that could block senescence and make chemotherapy more effective. In a study published Jan. 26 in Cancer Discovery, a journal of the American Association for…

Device Use Sound Waves to Detect Cancer Invasion
Scientists have designed a device that uses sound waves to detect cancer invasion. The device sends sound waves through the structure surrounding cells called the extracellular matrix. The stiffness of the extracellular matrix can then be measured. Stiffening of the extracellular matrix can indicate cancer is invading other tissue. The device was developed by engineers…
