By targeting three key growth pathways at once, researchers eliminated pancreatic tumors in multiple mouse models and prevented the cancer from returning, a promising step toward overcoming treatment resistance.

In a set of experiments that has jolted a notoriously grim field, researchers in Spain report that a carefully calibrated trio of drugs wiped out pancreatic tumors in mice and prevented them from growing back.

Trojan horse” approach may enable ‘antigen-independent’ therapy with potential to treat cancers not traditionally amenable to immunotherapy.

A molecule produced by cancer cells can shield the brain from Alzheimer’s disease in mice. For decades, researchers have noted that cancer and Alzheimer’s disease are rarely found in the same person, fuelling speculation that one condition might offer some degree of protection from the other.
