In the march of metastasis, a molecular trail of crumbs guides some cancer cells from the primary tumor to establish new ...

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 ...

Cancer immunotherapies, including cancer vaccines, harness and amplify the immune system’s natural ability to detect and attack cancer cells. In this illustration, immune T cells (pink) attach to a ...

Researchers have published the first description of the role of the ZFP36 family of RNA binding proteins in regulatory T cells (Tregs). Tregs are key to maintaining balance in the immune system and ...

Some of our biggest threats can come in the tiniest forms—viruses and bacteria. Thankfully, we are born with a built-in ...

A study conducted by the Molecular Oncology Research Center (CPOM) at Hospital de Amor in Barretos (formerly Barretos Cancer ...

Cancer cells can poison attacking immune cells by filling them with defective mitochondria ― dampening the body’s defensive forces and helping the tumour to evade eradication 1. These findings, ...

Trinity College Dublin scientists showed that electrical stimulation reprograms macrophages to reduce inflammation and boost healing. This breakthrough could lead to broad therapeutic uses.

It starts with a sneeze. Someone on the subway didn't cover their mouth and now a cloud of invisible invaders hangs in the ...

Scientists at the Sanford Stem Cell Institute at UC San Diego are in the midst of their ninth research mission, with samples ...

Sneaky parasite evades the human immune system by stripping cells and wearing them as a disguise Parasites are known to infect human cells through a variety of ingenious mechanisms. Many of them have ...
