Fascin-ating: A study published in eLife has shown that a protein called fascin acts in the control center of cancer cells and influences their ability to repair themselves, grow and move. Conducting more research into how fascin works may help scientists learn how to block its action when it comes to cancer.
8.
Mouthing Off: New Project Grants from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) are set to help develop research in what role bacteria play in mouth sores caused by chemotherapy by mimicking bacteria combinations found in children’s mouths with cancer. This will help researchers understand how microbes interact with oral cells during chemotherapy to identify bacteria that may offer protection.

Go Green: Research at Nippon Medical School shows how nature and rural areas benefit your health more than urban areas. Researchers observed that walking in areas with more greenery reduces stress and blood pressure far more effectively than walks in urban settings. Plants can boost our immune systems and raise our number of natural killer cells, which seek out and destroy tumor cells.

Oiled Up: According to an analysis published in PloS One, components of olive oil offer protection against several types of cancer. The study found significant disparities in cancer risks between people who consumed olive oils and people who did not. Olive oil is rich in monounsaturated fatty acids, squalene and phenolic compounds.

Thymus-n’t Stop Now: There may be news on the horizon for thymic cancer. Weill Cornell Medicine is developing a new preclinical model that revealed how a common mutation found in thymic epithelial tumors spark their formation. The model may be able to speed the development of targeted therapies for cancer of the thymus gland.

Sugary Sweet: Scientists at Australia’s Griffith University’s Institute for Glycomics are researching the ability to identify unique sugars on ovarian cancer cells that could help prevent the spread of cancer and improve treatment options. These sugars may be potent therapeutic targets in the fight against the spread of ovarian cancer.

In our new portrait series, we capture the beauty of the New Cancer Community.
The MACC Fund is supporting the next frontier in pediatric cancer research.
These six artists have all been touched by cancer — as supporters, survivors or thrivers. Here, they share creative works inspired by the cancer experience, each one utterly unique but with a shared message of perseverance and hope.
Meet the mobile app that takes the guesswork out of buying health-conscious, safe, personal care products.
Cancer warriors and thrivers may be more susceptible to contracting the novel coronavirus and developing severe complications, especially if there is a history of lung-specific illnesses like mesothelioma.
Every ingredient in this veggie bake does the body good.
