Author: Jay Ann Kan Abstract: Cancer, caused by spontaneous mutations, remains a lingering possibility in the lives of many. According to the National Cancer Institute, the risk of developing cancer in a lifetime is 42% and 38% for men and women respectively. However, as the options for cancer treatment progress, the treatments developed …
ABSTRACT: “At the age of 47, when I know that I have cancer, my only wish is to make it to 50”. Being notorious for being the most lethal cancer type and that there is no existing effective treatment, pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) – a type of aggressive pancreatic cancer- is truly a death sentence …
Abstract This article will explore the use of CRISPR Cas9 technology to create models of tumors to improve understanding of which genes are responsible for tumor initiation and progression, and to develop therapies that target those genes. There are already different types of immunotherapies, such as engineered TCR therapy and CAR T cell therapy, which …
Abstract This is a flexible and user-friendly 3D cellular automata model that uses MathWorks’ MATLAB and App Designer to simulate cancer tumor growth that takes into account certain types of Cancer Stem Cell (CSC) behavior. A Cellular Automata model, or a grid containing cells with rules governing their current state, is ideal for MATLAB (Matrix …

Abstract This article is an overview of aerobic cellular respiration and how the process can be influenced by glycolytic inhibitors as a potential cancer treatment.In the presence of oxygen, glucose undergoes a series of reactions characterised by the overall term “aerobic respiration” in order to synthesise ATP, which is crucial to muscle contraction and movement. …
Question The future of cancer diagnosis and treatment through nanomedicine. Is a personalised approach via nanoparticles achievable? Abstract Cancer is one of the major factors contributing to global mortality rates, contributing to one out of six deaths world wide. Traditional methods for diagnosis and treatment are often not precise enough to accurately map out the …
