Pesticides and cancer: A study reveals the biological mechanisms behind an environmental health risk

A study published in Nature Health reveals a strong link between pesticide exposure and the risk of developing certain cancers. The research shows that pesticide exposure increases the risk of cancer by 150% in areas with high levels of pollution, and highlights early biological effects before cancer develops.

‘‘Smart’’ drugs to fight cancer

A team from UNIGE has created a molecular system that distinguishes and neutralises cancer cells with unprecedented precision, paving the way for autonomous, self-regulating drugs. The technology uses synthetic DNA strands to deliver potent drugs only where they are needed, reducing damage to healthy tissue.
