UC San Francisco scientists have discovered a new way to control the immune system’s “natural killer” (NK) cells, a finding with implications for novel cell…
Increase of inflammation markers in tumor-initiating cells believed to be a response to brain injury. The healing process that follows a brain injury could spur…
Activating an immune signaling pathway best known for fighting viral and bacterial infections can boost the ability of genetically engineered T cells to eradicate breast…
Boosting immune system T cells to effectively attack solid tumors, such as breast cancers, can be done by adding a small molecule to a treatment…
Secondary analysis of the VITAL Randomized Clinical Trial found an overall 17 percent risk reduction for metastatic or fatal cancer and a 38 percent reduction…
Blocking gene expression in mitochondria in mice stops cancer cells from growing. A newly developed compound starves cancer cells by attacking their “power plants” –…
Researchers find that the phenomenon of chromothripsis results in rearranged genomes and extra-chromosomal DNA that helps mutated cells not only evade treatment, but become more…
Haematopoietic stem cell scarcity is one of the biggest barriers to the development of new and improved treatments for blood cancers and disorders. Researchers at…
Scientists recruit new atomic heavyweights in targeted fight against cancer. A promising approach to treating cancer — called targeted alpha-particle therapy or TAT — could…
Terahertz radiation, or T-rays, can reveal valuable information about the structure and dryness of our skin, new study from University of Warwick and The Chinese…
Most people no longer produce Siglec-12 protein, but some of those who do are at twice the risk for advanced cancer. Compared to chimpanzees, our…
A machine learning model developed in Finland can help us treat cancer more effectively. When healthcare professionals treat patients suffering from advanced cancers, they usually…
Retooled adenovirus not caught by liver/innate immune system. Many cancer researchers can claim to have devised “smart bombs.” What has been missing is the stealth…
Genomic analysis may help efforts to save this endangered marsupial. A transmissible cancer in the Tasmanian devil has evolved over the past two decades, with…
New research has shown that the antidepressant sertraline helps to inhibit the growth of cancer cells. The substance acts on a metabolic addiction that allows…
Five-year study, the structure-function relationship of oncogenic LMTK3, Science Advances, suggests that LMTK3 inhibitors could be effectively used for the treatment of breast cancer, and…
