A New Type of Cancer Radiotherapy Developed in Israel

The Israeli medical technology company Alpha Tau Medical has developed a new – effective and safe – type of radiation therapy for cancer. The innovative technology is based on the local impact of alpha particles on the tumour, which effectively destroy malignant cells without harming healthy tissues...

Israeli startup helps cancer patients find the right clinical trials

People with cancer often have to endure a long and difficult battle with a disease that, according to the World Health Organization, is among the top ten causes of death worldwide. For many, finding the right treatment option becomes a complex and exhausting task, as they have to …

Protein Found to Stimulate Growth of Intestinal Tumours

A team of researchers from the University of Toronto has discovered a protein that supports the growth of many forms of colorectal cancer. Their study, the results of which were published in the scientific journal Journal of Cell Biology, established that a protein called Importin-11 transports the oncogenic protein β-catenin directly into the nuclei of intestinal cancer cells, where it stimulates cell proliferation, meaning their uncontrolled division. The scientists attempted to inactivate this stage of transport, which allowed them to block the growth of most colorectal tumours caused by elevated levels of β-catenin.

Gene Discovered That Could Help Treat Glioblastoma

A team of scientists from a research institute affiliated with Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, USA, has found that a gene responsible for regulating circadian rhythms represents a potential target that, when affected, could combat a deadly form of brain cancer – glioblastoma.

Defeating Cancer with One Injection

The new method is based on injecting substances into the tumour that stimulate the immune system.

Israelis Invented a New Type of Oncotherapy That Can Destroy Over 70% of Tumours

A new technology developed by the Israeli medical technology company Alpha Tau is currently undergoing clinical trials, during which medical professionals are assessing its effectiveness in treating specific types of cancer, but it already shows enormous potential in combating any solid…

CAR-T: A Promising Treatment Method for Leukemia and Lymphoma

The project combines Israel's advanced immunotherapy technologies with American experience in clinical research.

In Israel, Foundations for a New Treatment for Pancreatic Cancer Have Been Laid

Israeli scientists have made a discovery that could serve as the basis for a new approach to treating pancreatic tumours. They discovered that a tiny molecule, PJ 34, effectively deals with cancer cells by prompting them to initiate a self-destruction process. A recent study in which researchers tested the promising compound on mice showed that its use allows for the elimination of up to 90% of pancreatic cancer cells while being safe for healthy cells. The team of researchers from the Sackler School of Medicine at Tel Aviv University, led by Professor Malki Cohen-Armon, conducted an experiment using xenografts (the term for tissue or organs transplanted from one species to another). They implanted human pancreatic cancer cells under the skin of laboratory rodents. At the same time, specialists weakened the animals' immune systems so that their bodies would not reject the transplanted cells.

Scientists Discover Way to Enhance the Effectiveness of CAR-T Cells

Scientists Propose a New Way to Combat Metastases

Localized tumours are considered relatively harmless – they are easily treatable and often do not recur. However, most cancerous formations tend to metastasize, meaning they have the ability to spread throughout the body via the bloodstream or lymphatic system. By forming secondary foci in the bones, lungs, liver, brain, and other organs, they become life-threatening.
