Immune cells assemble – boosting the effects of chemotherapy in pancreatic cancer

9th July 2021

A new study from Barts Cancer Institute, Queen Mary University of London, has demonstrated that immune cells can be stimulated to assemble into special structures within pancreatic cancer such that, at least in a pre-clinical model, researchers can demonstrate an improvement in the efficacy of chemotherapy.

Study identifies biomarker that could help to diagnose pancreatic cancer

29th June 2021

Researchers from Barts Cancer Institute, Queen Mary University of London, have identified a protein that could be used to aid in the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. Findings from the new study suggest that a protein called pentraxin 3 may be a specific diagnostic biomarker – or biological measure – for pancreatic cancer, with the ability to differentiate pancreatic cancer from other non-cancerous conditions of the pancreas.

Cancer cell communications

12th March 2021

We spoke with Dr Susana Godinho, Group Leader in Barts Cancer Institute’s Centre for Cancer Cell and Molecular Biology, to find out about her recent paper published in Current Biology. Dr Godinho and her team set out to identify why cancer cells carrying extra centrosomes exhibit increased release of communications packages known as small extracellular vesicles.

Researchers develop virus-based treatment platform to fight pancreatic cancer

27th January 2021

Researchers from Barts Cancer Institute, Queen Mary University of London, and Zhengzhou University have developed a powerful therapeutic platform that uses a modified virus for the treatment of pancreatic cancer. By using the virus in combination with other drugs, the treatment significantly extended survival in preclinical models of pancreatic cancer.
