(University of Copenhagen) Researchers from BRIC at University of Copenhagen have found that a small molecule in our cells can block autophagy in cancer cells making them more sensitive for treatment.

(University of East Anglia) A team of scientists led by the University of East Anglia has discovered a brand new group of molecules which could help fight the spread of cancer and other diseases.

(Institute of Physics) The future for magentic nanoparticles (mNPs) appears bright With the design of "theranostic" molecules. mNPs could play a crucial role in developing one-stop tools to simultaneously diagnose, monitor and treat a wide range of common diseases and injuries.

(Texas A&M University) Molecules that may hold the key to new ways to fight cancer and other diseases have been found to play an important role in regulating circadian rhythm, says Liheng Shi, a researcher in Texas A&M's Department of Veterinary Integrative Biosciences.

(University of Michigan) The growth of cancerous tumors is fueled, at least in part, by the buildup of free radicals -- highly reactive oxygen-containing molecules.
