Seven faculty members received awards for their excellence in research and teaching at Augusta University.
A key way radiation therapy and chemotherapy work is by making highly lethal double-strand breaks in the DNA of cancer cells.
Augusta University student Nitish Sood took part in a third study into states' lockdowns. This time they found states that locked down late suffered up to 25% higher penetration of the disease than those who locked down earlier in the crisis.
How long will we have to shelter in place to get COVID-19 under control? According to Augusta University student Nitish Sood and his fellow researchers, the answer is months.
Aggressive colorectal cancers set up an interactive network of checkpoints to keep the immune system at bay, scientists report.
While trying to develop a comparatively easy, inexpensive way to give physicians and their patients with bladder cancer a better idea of likely outcome and best treatment options, scientists found that sophisticated new subtyping techniques designed...
A transcription factor that aids neuron function also appears to enable a cell conversion in the prostate gland that can make an already recurrent cancer even more deadly, scientists say.
An enzyme induced by stress to help reduce production of damaging free radicals is also used by liver cancer to regulate two major cell proliferation pathways that enable the cancer to thrive, scientists report.
MCG scientists looking at body's natural checkpoint, the enzyme CD73, and how it may convert the cell fuel that normally promotes our immune system to attack head and neck cancer cells into something that instead inhibits that attack.
MCG scientists hope non-invasive and better tests that measure a gene variant commonly found in bladder cancer could help improve patient outcomes.
MCG scientists now know how the immune system rids the body of tumor cells, helping prevent cancer metastasis.
Our bodies are continuously concocting specific antibodies to thwart invaders like a virus or even pollen, and scientists have new information about how the essential production gets fired up and keeps up.
