A team of scientists from the National University of Singapore's (NUS) Department of Biological Sciences and Mechanobiology Institute have discovered how a drug-lead compound - a compound that is undergoing preclinical trials as a potential drug - can deprive cancer cells of energy and stop them from growing into a ...

In a medical breakthrough researchers at NYU Langone Medical Center and colleagues have shown how some cells in the body can repel attacks from HIV by starving the virus of the building blocks of life.

A research group led by ETH Zurich professor Dario Neri have developed a new strategy to fight cancer. Blood vessels in the environment of tumors are killed with a new molecule which leads to the "starvation” of the tumor. Compared to currently applied treatments, this new strategy has a series ...

Prostate cancers are hungry, growing cells. Now we know how to cut off their food supply thanks to research to be published later this month in Cancer Research work funded by Movember and the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia. Researchers at the Centenary Institute in Sydney have discovered a potential ...

(Medical Xpress) -- Researchers at the Centenary Institute in Sydney have discovered a potential future treatment for prostate cancer—through starving the tumor cells of an essential nutrient they need to grow rapidly.

Each year about 3300 Australian men die of prostate cancer. It's Australia's second worst cancer killer for men, matching the impact of breast cancer on women. Current therapies for prostate cancer include surgical removal of the prostate, radiation, freezing the tumour or cutting off the supply ...

The condition tuberous sclerosis, due to mutation in one of two tumor suppressor genes, TSC1 or TSC2, causes the growth of non-malignant tumors throughout the body and skin. These tumors can be unsightly and cause serious damage to organs. Growth of tumors in the brain may cause seizures and in ...

A new study suggests that blocking cancer cells' access to cholesterol may offer a new strategy for treating glioblastoma, the most common and deadly form of brain cancer, and perhaps other malignancies. The potential treatment could be appropriate for tumors with a hyperactive PI3K signaling pathway, which accounts for up ...
