Nature Communications, Published online: 14 May 2026; doi:10.1038/s41467-026-73211-z Retroelement transcripts-derived double-stranded RNAs (dsRNAs) can trigger innate immune responses in cancer through a process known as viral mimicry. Here the authors show that METTL3, the writer of m6A modification, regulates the abundance of steady-state dsRNAs and it could be targeted together with DNA methyl…

Cerium-based nanozymes (CeNZs) are a class of nanomaterials possessing enzyme-like catalytic activities. Their unique Ce3+/Ce4+ redox pair and multi-enzyme mimicking activities make them highly advantageous for tumor chemodynamic therapy (CDT). This review systematically summarizes recent research progress in the application of CeNZs for tumor CDT. It focuses on their multi-enzyme catalytic mecha…

Digestive system malignancies, such as gastric cancer (GC), colorectal cancer (CRC), and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), have become a major global challenge in cancer therapy. These tumors are characterized by high morbidity, strong metastatic potential, and significant chemoresistance, thus posing a severe threat to human digestive health. One of the primary mechanisms underlying the malignant …

Scientists are using decorated nanoparticles to precisely target tumors with chemotherapy, effectively reducing side effects. The post Decorated nanospheres boost chemotherapy and cut side effects appeared first on Advanced Science News .

Managing cancer requires visualization of tumors using a plethora of imaging modalities such as positron-emission tomography (PET), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), photoacoustic tomography and optical imaging. Upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs), a new generation of optical nanomaterials which convert near-infrared (NIR) radiation to visible light by a process called “u…

Thyroid cancer is one of the most common endocrine malignancies, and it is the cause of more deaths than all other endocrine cancers combined. Papillary thyroid cancer, a type of thyroid cancer, is often asymptomatic, but because of the progress of modern diagnostic technology its detection rate has shown a rapid increase in the past […]
