New Study Discovers ‘Killer Peptide’ That Helps Eliminate Resistant Cancer Cells by University of Kentucky UK’s Vivek Rangnekar, left, and Ravshan Burikhanov. Source: University of Kentucky A new study by University of Kentucky Markey Cancer Center researchers shows that when therapy-sensitive cancer cells die, they release a “killer peptide” that can eliminate therapy-resistant cells. Tumor relapse isContinue reading “New Study Discovers ‘Killer Peptide’ That Helps Eliminate Resistant Cancer Cells”

Cancer cells want high fat and an attack on the Pancreas
High Fat is what cancer cell wants One feature that distinguishes tumor cells from normal cells is their dysregulated metabolism. For example, tumor cells undergo glycolytic rather than oxidative metabolism, a change known as the Warburg effect, and they synthesize greater amounts of proteins and fatty acids than do normal cells (see the commentary byContinue reading “Cancer cells want high fat and an attack on the Pancreas”
The nature of cancers
The new Microscope A new concept in optical microscopy is the grayfield method as developed by Kurt Olbrich (www.grayfieldoptical.com). This allows one to see detailed structures that are otherwise not even visible with conventional phase contrast microscopy. Now it is possible to observe the decomposition of live blood or the pleomorphic changes from spores orContinue reading “The nature of cancers”
