Cancer stem cell morphology predicts glioblastoma growth and resistance
Human Technopole researchers have identified adducin-γ (ADD3) as a crucial regulator of glioblastoma cancer stem cell morphology and intercellular bridges between tumour cells. These connections facilitate communication and allow tumour cells to share resources, evade chemotherapy, and survive in challenging conditions. The study has been funded by AIRC and the findings are published in Life Science Alliance.

Colorectal Cancer: ML Enhances Cetuximab Response Predictions
An international collaborative study led by Human Technopole, Candiolo Cancer Institute IRCCS in Turin, the University of Turin, and the Wellcome Sanger Institute in Cambridge (UK) has identified new factors associated with therapeutic response in colorectal cancer. The research has led to the development of a machine-learning model capable of accurately predicting the effects of cetuximab, a drug in clinical use, on different colorectal tumour subtypes. Funded by the AIRC Foundation, the study paves the way to identifying molecular features that could serve as biomarkers for predicting treatment response in patients with this type of cancer.
