A drug that has been sitting in medicine cabinets for over 70 years may have a surprising second act! A 70-year-old blood pressure drug, hydralazine, has revealed its molecular mechanism for fighting aggressive brain tumors. Scientists discovered it directly targets and shuts down a critical enzyme, ADO, which cancer cells rely on for survival. This…
Headaches are a common ailment and usually nothing to worry about. But in some cases, they can be the first sign of a serious condition such as a bleed on the brain or even a tumour.

Persistent headaches, unexplained vomiting, sudden mood changes, or seizures should never be ignored. These could be more than routine health issues; they may signal a serious underlying brain condition. Because a tumour can grow silently and…
Scientists have developed a revolutionary LED light-based cancer therapy that targets tumour cells while leaving healthy tissue unharmed. The treatment uses microscopic tin-based flakes, known as SnOx nanoflakes, which absorb near-infrared LED light and convert it into heat, selectively destroying cancer cells. This approach offers a safer, non-invasive alternative to conventional chemotherapy, which often causes…
Scientists have made a promising discovery that could transform the treatment of pancreatic cancer, one of the deadliest forms of the disease. Researchers at the Institute of Cancer Research in London have identified a protein called SPP1 that plays a key role in the aggressive spread of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), the most common form…
A brain tumour is an abnormal growth of cells in or around the brain. These growths can be malignant (cancerous) or benign (noncancerous), with differences in growth rate and potential impact on health. Even noncancerous tumours can be serious if they grow large enough to press on nearby nerves, blood vessels, or brain tissue, affecting…
