Scientists Illuminate the Mechanism that Raises and Lowers PSMA Expression in Prostate Cancer

Like the better-known prostate-specific antigen (PSA), prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is a biomarker that can tell physicians much about a patient's metastatic prostate cancer.

Novel Genes Could Serve as Predictive Biomarkers for PARP Inhibitor Response in Prostate Cancer

Prostate cancer tumors harboring BRCA1/2 mutations are exceptionally sensitive to PARP inhibitors, while genomic alterations in other DNA damage response (DDR) genes are less responsive.

"Visual Biochemistry" Approach to Understand How the BRCA2 Protein Binds and Interacts with DNA

Using a self-built inverted microscope complete with laser optical tweezers to capture DNA, Yale Cancer Center and University of California Davis researchers for the first time created a visualization of the full-length human BRCA2 protein at the single molecule level.

Additional therapeutic maneuver may be needed to stop some metastasized tumors Cancer That...

Cancer that has spread to areas like the lungs can apply the brakes to a natural pathway that should recruit killer T cells directly to where it has metastasized, scientists report.

New combination therapy regimen may reduce prostate cancer progression or death by 37%

TALAPRO-2, a study led by Neeraj Agarwal, MD, FASCO, demonstrated that using TALZENNA, in combination with XTANDI, may reduce the risk of disease progression or death by 37%.

First molecular images of olfaction sets the stage to create novel smells

Breaking a longstanding impasse in our understanding of olfaction, scientists at UC San Francisco (UCSF) have created the first molecular-level, 3D picture of how an odor molecule activates a human odorant receptor, a crucial step in deciphering the sense of smell.

A 3D explanation of SPOP’s role in cancer

The protein SPOP, which also plays a role in endometrial, uterine, and other cancers, is the most mutated in prostate cancer. Despite its significance, it is still unclear how SPOP mutations cause cancer.

Point-of-care program boosts genetic testing for prostate cancer

Certain prostate cancer patients have genetic mutations that could affect how they are treated. According to a study published in Urology Practice®, an Official Journal of the American Urological Association (AUA), a comprehensive, on-site genetic testing program developed by urologists could help close the gap for this underutilized resource.
