Researchers linked to the University of Surrey report that forskolin, a plant-derived compound, can slow the growth of KMT2A‑rearranged acute myeloid leukaemia cells in the lab and increase their sensitivity to the chemotherapy drug daunorubicin. The findings, from a study published in the British Journal of Pharmacology, suggest a possible way to make existing treatments more effective, though further research is required before any change to clinical practice.
A new study reveals that the MYC protein does more than drive tumor growth. It also repairs DNA damage in cancer cells, allowing some tumors to survive chemotherapy and radiation.

Scientists have identified a molecule produced by bacteria inside tumors that enhances the effectiveness of chemotherapy against colorectal cancer. The compound, 2-methylisocitrate, damages cancer cell DNA and disrupts their metabolism. This discovery could lead to new treatments that make existing drugs more potent.
