- Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors May Improve Outcomes in High-Risk Solid Tumors
Cancer immunotherapy has transformed the treatment landscape for many advanced cancers over the past decade. Drugs targeting the PD-1 and PD-L1 pathways are now widely used across several tumor types, helping the immune system recognize and attack cancer cells more effectively. - Mapping the Hidden Structure of Glioma Research: What Are We Missing?
Glioma research has evolved rapidly over the past decade, driven by breakthroughs in molecular biology, imaging technologies, and computational tools. Today, clinicians can classify tumors with far greater precision than ever before, using genetic mutations, epigenetic markers, and advanced diagnostic frameworks. - SCD1 Inhibition Strategy Shows Potent Synergy with Regorafenib and Metformin in Tumor Cell Killing
Cancer has long been understood through a variety of biological frameworks, including genetic mutations, dysregulated signaling pathways, and uncontrolled cell proliferation.
ABOUT DR. MIKHAIL (MISHA) BLAGOSKLONNY:
It is with great sadness and heavy heart that we announce the recent passing of Dr. Mikhail (Misha) V. Blagosklonny, our beloved Editor-in-Chief. Misha succumbed to metastatic lung cancer after a courageous battle.
Dr. Blagosklonny will be remembered as a brilliant and extraordinary scientist who dedicated his life to science. He was a visionary thinker, who made highly original contributions to cancer and aging research that were often ahead of their time.
Dr. Blagosklonny was born into a family of scientists. His mother, Professor of Medicine Yanina V. Blagosklonnaya, specialized in endocrinology and was a talented teacher, mentoring several generations of medical students. His father, Professor Vladimir M. Dilman, was a brilliant gerontologist, endocrinologist and oncologist, known for being a very charismatic person. He was the first person to encourage Misha to think about nature, aging, and philosophy.
Misha was a theorist by nature. While in school, he was deeply interested in physics and dreamed of becoming a theoretical physicist. Eventually, he chose biology, driven to study aging and age-related diseases, including cancer. He started as an experimentalist, but over the years, he became a theoretical biologist. In a way, his dream came true.
