Rewiring the biology of leukaemia cells to reverse drug resistance

20th April 2022

Researchers from Barts Cancer Institute at Queen Mary University of London have identified a way to reverse resistance to a group of cancer drugs, known as kinase inhibitors, in leukaemia cells. By rewiring the inner workings of the cancer cells, the team was able to prime leukaemia cells for sensitivity to treatment in the laboratory.

Targeting healthy cells changes invasive behaviour of pancreatic cancer

25th January 2022

Researchers from Barts Cancer Institute at Queen Mary University of London, led by Dr Angus Cameron, have found a way to modulate the invasive behaviour of pancreatic cancer by targeting a non-cancerous cell type found within pancreatic tumours. The findings, published in Cell Reports, provide valuable insights into the biology of pancreatic cancer progression, and could help to drive improvements in cancer treatment.
