Olive Leaf Extract Inhibits Breast and Ovarian Cancer Cell Growth and Cell Cycle Progression, Increasing Apoptosis of Tumor Cells
Breast and ovarian cancer are two of the deadliest malignancies among women worldwide. Furthermore, ovarian tumors are generally diagnosed at an already advanced stage and any specific treatment approach has still been individuated to effectively eradicate the disease with a good prognosis. Therefore, new strategies that could help to improve the progression-free survival (PFS) and … Continue reading Olive Leaf Extract Inhibits Breast and Ovarian Cancer Cell Growth and Cell Cycle Progression, Increasing Apoptosis of Tumor Cells
No Evidence Pets Play a Role in Spread of COVID to Humans
The emergence of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) in 2003 and Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) in 2012, caused by SARS-CoVand MERS-CoV, respectively, demonstrated the zoonotic potential of coronaviruses. The new human coronavirus, Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus type 2 (SARS-CoV-2), responsible for the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), left its probable wild animal reservoir, has … Continue reading No Evidence Pets Play a Role in Spread of COVID to Humans
Cancer Survivor Dedicates Short Film to SHRO Founder
Researchers collaborating with the Sbarro Health Research Organization (SHRO) have frequently focused their precision medicine studies on improving outcomes and personalized therapies for breast cancer. Earlier this year, they examined the link between high BMI and low survival rates in HER2+ metastatic breast cancer, and they have pioneered the use of virtual reality in providing supportive care … Continue reading Cancer Survivor Dedicates Short Film to SHRO Founder

Hijacking cancer cells with a virus while blocking cells’ antiviral defenses could knock out mesothelioma
Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is a very aggressive cancer mainly caused by exposure to asbestos, against which no curative modalities exist, although many different strategies have been attempted so far. Research Alert A study exploring a new combination of therapeutic agents, dl922-947, an oncolytic adenovirus, and AZD1775, an inhibitor of the DNA damage checkpoint kinase WEE1, … Continue reading Hijacking cancer cells with a virus while blocking cells’ antiviral defenses could knock out mesothelioma
Biomarker Candidates for Potential Early Diagnosis of Mesothelioma Reveal Mechanism of Tumor Escape from Immunosurveillance
Prof. Antonio Giordano with his collaborators from the National Cancer Institute of Naples, Pascale Foundation Mesothelioma is a deadly cancer mainly caused by exposure to asbestos fibers. Unfortunately, mesothelioma is generally diagnosed at an already advanced stage and none of the therapeutic strategies tried so far is able to eradicate the disease. So new biomarkers … Continue reading Biomarker Candidates for Potential Early Diagnosis of Mesothelioma Reveal Mechanism of Tumor Escape from Immunosurveillance

Avoiding Covid-19 Only to Die of Cancer? The Shadow Curve of Other Diseases
If this “hidden” curve is ignored, the consequence could mean a higher rate of death from cancer than from Covid-19 By Antonio Giordano Soon after its onset, the COVID-19 pandemic urged public health authorities to adopt measures to minimize the virus spread. Among them, limiting in-person visits to urgent matters only, and encouraging patients to postpone non-essential screenings … Continue reading Avoiding Covid-19 Only to Die of Cancer?

Key Immune System Genes Identified to Explain High COVID Deaths and Spread in Northern Italy Versus Fewer Cases and Deaths in the South
Not long after the Coronavirus disease (Covid-19) outbreak in China, Italy was hard-hit by the infection and rapidly became one of the countries with the highest mortality rate. The disease was first detected on February 20 in Lombardy, a region in the Northern area, and rapidly spread throughout the country. The Southern regions and the … Continue reading Key Immune System Genes Identified to Explain High COVID Deaths and Spread in Northern Italy Versus Fewer Cases and Deaths in the South
