The Latest in Cancer Research:

• Researchers have patented a mobile device that can detect tumor cells in the blood. The device appears to be very effective in monitoring, treating and diagnosing cancer. Read more on this development in Scientific Reports.
• According to lead researchers at Northwestern University, early studies have demonstrated a potential new therapy for treating glioblastoma that involves using lipid polymer based nanoparticles to deliver molecules to the tumors. For more, see Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
• An international team led by scientists at the University of Montreal has identified a key new mechanism that regulates the ability of T-cells of the immune system to react against foreign antigens and cancer. Read more on this discovery in Nature Communications.
• The National Cancer Institute Genomic Data Commons has officially launched DAVE: Data Analysis, Visualization, and Exploration. DAVE will allow users to interact with data and promote the cancer genomics knowledge base. See DAVE tools for more.
