A new device can sift blood to find cancer – or recruit immune cells for personalised therapy
Metastasis is responsible for over 90 % of cancer-related deaths. Yet little focus has been placed on the elusive cells responsible for spreading the disease, which circulate through the bloodstream, making identification and analysis challenging. The EU-funded SCALPEL project set out to save lives by developing a microchip device to detect and sort metastatic cells from blood samples.
Drawing a direct line between cellular acidic resistance and cancer treatment
Cancer is one of the leading causes of death in the EU. Researchers in the EU-funded Survive project examined how cells adapt to acidic conditions – a trait that can allow tumours to grow. Their findings highlight new ways to identify aggressive cancers, and point to potential new treatments to regulate acid resistance.
