Rudolf Virchow was one of the biggest scientists of all times. In 1855, he postulates the Omnis cellula e cellula concept (also known as "All cells (come) from cells"), which describes that every new cell comes from a pre-existing cell. That was extremely important years later to understand the origin of cancer. Rudolf Virchow was also the one responsible to identify blood cells in tumor mass and to make a connection between a "chronic irritation" and the cancer beginning, published in "Cellular Pathology" (1863). This highlighted the importance of inflammation on cancer promotion and opened a wide field for cancer research, resulting in advances for cancer prevention and new treatments. #throwbackscience #cancerresearch #cancerawareness #science #cancerfighters #cancer #toronto #canadianscience

In order to launch our brand new series #sciencemonday, focused on latest news and curiosities about cancer research, we decided to promote a great article written by Alexandra Rasnitsyn. In this post, she explains how cancer cells disrupt the physiological rules of co-operation between normal cells and start to behave like a selfish cell, similar to very old single cells ancestors!!! Stay tuned in our Blog! Link for the article is available in our Bio! Schematic of Cancer Atavism by Alex Rasnitsyn, created on BioRender.com #sciencemonday #cancer #cancerresearch #cancerscience #scienceintoronto #science #toronto #canadiancancersociety #cancerfighter #cancerscientists #scientist #sciencenews #cancernews #understandingcancer #canada #canadianscience #sciencecommunication #cancerawareness

In 1947, Dr. Sidney Farber reported the first case of remission of pediatric leukemia after a new therapeutic approach. It was the first of 10 successful remissions cases reported later on his published article. His achievement was the first steps to develop therapies that cure thousands of people in the years to come, providing a healthy life with a good childhood for those patients. #tbt #throwbackthursday #throwbackscience #science #torontoriot #cancerriot #canada #toronto #cancerfighter #cancerresearch #research

Our member and scientist Dr. Patty Sachamitr presented a poster about cancer awareness at a community event in the Canadian Cancer Research Conference. Congrats for the excellent job, Patty! #ccraconf #ccrc #sciencetothepeople #cancerawareness #ottawa #canada #science #research #cancerresearch #canadianresearch #torontoriot

Our next High School Talk will happen on November 14th. To introduce basic principles of cell biology and cancer. #toronto #cancerawareness #canada #learning #highschool #science #cancerresearch #cancerbiology

In the end of this Pink October, we decided to come up with a great woman scientist! Marie Curie was a scientist who discovered radium and polonium in 1989. Under her supervision, the first studies using radioactive elements were conducted to treat cancer. She was the first woman to receive the Nobel Prize and the only person to receive the Nobel Prize in two different categories: Physics and Chemistry. The molecule Radium 223 is used until today in radiotherapy treatments for different types of cancer. #womaninscience #canada #toronto #cancerawareness #nobelpeaceprize #science #physics #chemistry #cancerfighter #mariecurie #cancerresearch #research
