Could a breath test detect blood cancer?

23rd July 2025

Molecules exhaled in the breath may provide clues to detect blood cancer, according to new research by scientists at Barts Cancer Institute. The findings could enable the development of a blood cancer breathalyser, providing a rapid, low-cost way to detect disease.

Germinal centre-like structures in the salivary glands of a patient with Sjögren’s syndrome. This microscopy image shows the relationship between molecules involved in the cell’s recycling process (autophagy; shown in red) and Lamin B1 (in green), a protein found at the edge of the cell nucleus. Areas with increased autophagy activity correspond to regions with lower amounts of Lamin B1, suggesting this recycling process helps control Lamin B1 levels in immune cells during autoimmune disease.
Cells’ recycling system plays a surprising role in shaping immune cells DNA

2nd July 2025

Researchers have discovered a new mechanism by which B cells – antibody-producing immune cells – use a cellular recycling process called autophagy to control changes to their DNA essential for antibody improvement. The findings could have future implications for the development of certain blood cancers and autoimmune diseases.
