A recent study has revealed that targeting tissues around pancreatic cancer cells may help stop their metastasis and improve chemotherapy outcomes. It was studied that how pancreatic cancer cells change their environment to enable easy metastasis, which is the main cause of pancreatic cancer-related death. The researchers discovered that some pancreatic tumours remodel the environment around them, which helps cancer cells metastasize and protects them against chemotherapy. Researchers compared tissue around tumour cells in both metastatic and non-metastatic pancreatic cancer cells. This tissue, known as matrix, acts like a glue that holds different cells or tumours together. Using mouse models, the team extracted fibroblasts-cells that produce most of the matrix from both spreading and non-spreading pancreatic tumours. It was found that cancer cells from a non-spreading tumour began to spread when mixed with fibroblasts from a spreading tumour. In this investigation, it was

Researchers have found that artificial intelligence recognizes new breast cancer types that respond differently to a treatment. Using artificial intelligence, five new types of diseases were uncovered, each of them matched to different personalized treatments. The study applied AI and a machine-learning approach to gene sequences and molecular data from breast tumors, to reveal crucial differences among cancers that had previously been lumped into one type of disease. The researchers applied the AI-compatible computer software to a vast array of data available in the field of genetics, a molecular and cellular constituent of breast tumors, and data on patient survival. The goal of the study is to apply this technique different types of cancer and get information about their response and sensitivity to treatment, part of evolution, and how to tackle drug resistan problem.
