A protein involved with cell death can be manipulated to slow or reverse tumor growth, a pair of new studies in mice found.

To make the therapy safer and more adaptable, UChicago researchers developed a new “split” system called GA1CAR. This uses ...

Cancer cells thrive in an environment deprived of oxygen and nutrients, adapting to survive and grow. Unlike normal cells, they rely on a process called aerobic glycolysis, or the Warburg effect, to ...

Biomedical research typically follows a familiar path: developing treatments that block, enhance or mutate certain signaling ...

Researchers have identified a possible way to make glioblastoma cells vulnerable to different types of immunotherapy. The strategy, which they demonstrated in cells in the lab, forces brain cancer ...

Scientists have uncovered a sweet twist in the body’s fight against cancer. Glucose, best known as the fuel that powers our cells, also helps immune cells called T cells communicate and organize their ...

Working with the same tumor slices that pathologists use to diagnose and guide treatment of patients, however, Carstens can ...

Immune proteins (purple) hold KRAS-sotorasib (yellow hexagons) at the surface of a tumor cell (orange). An antibody (green) carrying radioactivity (yellow halo) detects KRAS-sotorasib and grabs onto ...

In Singapore, one biotech company is changing how we approach cancer treatment. CytoMed Therapeutics (NASDAQ: GDTC), just launched its ANGELICA clinical trial, to fundamentally change how we make ...

Cancer cells possess a remarkable quality called plasticity. This means they can change their form. This ability helps them survive and spread. Cancer cells act like young cells. They can adapt to ...

Fasting has long been hailed for its health benefits, from weight loss to improved metabolism, but scientists are now exploring an even more powerful idea: what if a carefully controlled diet that ...

The cancer cells of some men feature a striking mutation: their Y chromosome is missing altogether. Now, tantalizing research suggests that this mutation can spread ‘contagiously’ from tumour cells to ...
