According to the results of the early study, published simultaneously in the New England Journal of Medicine, 92% of patients ...

Researchers have discovered a way to make the immune system's T cells significantly more effective at fighting cancer. By blocking a protein called Ant2, they were able to reprogram how these cells ...

After nearly 40 years of research on how Listeria bacteria manipulate our cells and battle our immune system to cause listeriosis, Daniel Portnoy and his colleagues have discovered a way to turn the ...

In recent years, scientists have discovered that some chemotherapy drugs not only kill cancer cells directly, but at least in some patients, mysteriously also trigger their immune system to attack the ...

Cancer scientists have been working against the clock for decades to outsmart a disease that comes back more powerfully after treatment. Traditional treatments like chemotherapy, radiation, and even ...

Amino acid metabolism in the TIME. The TIME is shaped by metabolic competition between tumor and immune cells. Amino acids have key roles in modulating immune responses and tumor progression. (A) ...

Researchers have evidence that inside shark DNA are single chain antibodies that just might help cure cancer. These flexible, “sticky” antibodies can grab onto cancer cells remarkably well, and hold ...

We could be on the verge of a major cancer treatment breakthrough, with a new vaccine shown to completely obliterate pancreatic cancer cells in preclinical trials. This paves the way for it to move ...

Immunotherapy has been generally ineffective for prostate cancer because the tumors are considered immunologically "cold," meaning they do not attract enough immune cells to mount a strong attack.

The researchers found that mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccines could potentially help patients whose tumors don’t respond well to traditional immunotherapy. When you purchase through links on our site, we ...
