Novel targeted therapy for triple-negative breast cancer

Researchers from Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU) have developed a novel targeted therapy for triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) that uses a specially-designed nano-carrier to deliver the Chinese medicine compound gambogic acid (GA). The invention enhances the anti-cancer effect of GA and reduces its damage to off-target organs, and it could become a more effective therapeutic option for TNBC.

Common plastic chemical may increase cancer risk

A study led by Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU) has revealed that different degrees of exposure to a common industrial chemical called bisphenol S (BPS) are associated with the growth and deterioration of breast tumours in mice.

BPS is used in paper products and plastic food and drink containers. It was introduced to replace bisphenol A (BPA), which has previously been linked to metabolic disease and an increased risk of breast cancer.
