Our immune systems have the thankless jobs of guarding us from bacterial and viral invaders and preventing cancer development. Most of the time, we do not notice this hard work because the invaders ...

For organs to develop, grow and regenerate, cells must proliferate. But when that process goes awry, leading to uncontrolled cell growth, cancer can emerge. New CU Boulder research, published in the ...

Immunotherapy, which uses programmed immune cells to selectively destroy cancer cells, has transformed cancer treatment. However, cancer cells have developed immune evasion strategies, leading to poor ...

CAR-T is a powerful tool which is still evolving. Here we highlight what is new in CAR-T cell therapy Cancer cells often play hide-and-seek with the immune system in an attempt to evade catastrophic ...

Scientists in South Korea have discovered a method in a new research that can make cancer cells normal again instead of killing them. This treatment can make it easier to fight cancer in the future.

Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) refer to cancer cells that have broken off from a primary tumor. These tumor cells can travel through the blood in the circulatory system and lodge themselves in other ...

Liposuction and plastic surgery aren’t often mentioned in the same breath as cancer. But they are the inspiration for a new approach to treating cancer that uses engineered fat cells to deprive tumors ...

New research shows lymph nodes aren’t just cancer bystanders, they’re the command centers fueling immune attacks. Surgically removing them along with tumors may weaken treatment, while preserving them ...

A Weill Cornell Medicine team has found that triple-negative breast cancer depends on the enzyme EZH2 to spread. By silencing key genes, EZH2 drives chaotic cell divisions and fuels metastasis.
