Attacking cancer stem cells …a way to treat Mesothelioma
A new cancer treatment is on the horizon since scientists made a breakthrough discovery in the understanding of how tumor cells grow. The basis of the treatment is that a tiny portion of cancer cells, which have been named cancer stem cells, is the cause of the malignant nature of tumors. “We think it’s going to be very possible to develop safe and effective agents targeting cancer stem cells, based on the work we’ve already achieved to date,” said John Lewicke, Oncomed&#...

Stem Cell Technology could cure Breast Cancer
GENova Biotherapeutics, Inc., (”GENova”), released important information about its innovative method for destroying breast cancer cells, using stem cell technology. GENova’s approach is based on cutting-edge technology that enables us to identify the protein expression in the original cancer stem cells that give rise to tumors. “By recognizing the existence of cancer stem cells, we have taken a great step towards understanding this complex disease. Now that we know how to... Readmore
