Doctors at Tata Memorial Centre have discovered a mechanism for cancer metastasis and developed nutraceutical therapy to minimise its risk. Their research reveals that dying cancer cells release chromosome fragments that can fuse with healthy cells and cause new tumours. Nutraceuticals made from copper and plants have been found to neutralise these chromosome fragments and reduce the risk of metastasis. The therapy could be prescribed as supportive treatment along with chemotherapy.

A new cancer treatment has shown promise in reducing TB growth, particularly in drug-resistant bacteria. The medication, tested in unique cellular models, targets Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the bacteria that causes tuberculosis. It helps initiate natural cell death processes in infected cells. TB kills over 1.6 million people each year, and drug resistance is a growing concern. The researchers are hopeful that host-directed therapies, such as this one, can be a game-changer for infectious diseases. The therapy combines two inhibitors and can control TB growth up to 98%.
