A new study reveals a possible way to make CAR T-cell therapy more durable and effective by targeting a single gene-regulating protein.
Cancer cells provide healthy neighboring cells with additional mitochondria to put them to work. This has been demonstrated by researchers at ETH Zurich in a new study. In this way, cancer is ...
Tumours have developed many strategies and tricks to gain advantages in the body. Led by cell biology professor Sabine Werner, researchers at ETH Zurich have now discovered another surprising trick ...
DNA can voyage along intercellular highways called tunneling nanotubes. It’s a phenomenon that could potentially spread tumor ...
For the past 15 years or so, a class of drugs called immune checkpoint inhibitors have been used to treat melanoma – the most ...
Cancer cells can brainwash their neighbors. Like the CIA deploying secret agents to turn an enemy, tumors use a similar strategy to manipulate nearby cells. The tumors’ agents are mitochondria, the ...
Scientists could reshape cancer treatment by helping powerful drugs work better in the body by exploiting a surface protein called CD36 that helps pull substances into cells. This dramatically ...
Melanoma kills roughly 8,000 Americans each year, and a stubborn share of those deaths trace back to the same problem: tumors ...
As tumors outgrow their blood and nutrient supplies, or respond to treatments like chemotherapy and radiotherapy, individual ...
Scientists at UCLA have developed an "off-the-shelf" cell-based immunotherapy that was able to track down and kill pancreatic cancer cells even after they had spread to other organs. In a mouse study, ...
