A new multi-pronged antibody design could help immune cells receive stronger activation signals against cancer. Researchers ...

KAIST researchers have developed a way to reprogram immune cells already inside tumors into cancer-killing machines. A drug ...

A carotenoid that's already widely available in fruit and vegetables, and as a supplement, has been found to bolster the cancer-fighting abilities of immune cells, making it a promising new candidate ...

A new international study led by the Gray Faculty of Medical & Health Sciences at Tel Aviv University finds: melanoma cancer cells paralyze immune cells by secreting extracellular vesicles (EVs), ...

A study led by researchers at Moffitt Cancer Center found that normal cells surrounding a tumor, known as cancer-associated ...

A Northeastern University researcher has identified a way to target two of the deadliest cancer types, melanoma and triple negative breast cancer, with chemotherapy drugs but without the harms ...

In a groundbreaking study, a healthy fatty acid in olive oil and nuts has been found to "supercharge" immune cells specialized to fight cancer. Meanwhile, another kind of natural fatty acid undermines ...

Veronica Paulus is a former STAT intern supported by the Harvard University Institute of Politics. After patients go into remission, there may still be undetected cancer cells lying dormant through ...

Killer immune cells destroy cancer cells and cells infected by virus. These CD8 + T cells are activated after detection of viral infection or growth of “non-self” tumor cells. However, in chronic ...

The research, published today in Nature Communications, focuses on how cancer cells keep their chromosomes intact so they can continue dividing relentlessly. Normally, every time a cell divides, the ...

Scientists at the University of Pennsylvania have shown for the first time that it’s possible to detect dormant cancer cells in breast cancer survivors and eliminate them with repurposed drugs, ...
