A recent publication in Nature Medicine describes a novel immunotherapy targeting pancreatic cancer that has shown promising ...

Researchers have unlocked a way to grow the immune system’s “conductors” from stem cells, bringing ready-made cancer-fighting therapies a big step closer. For the first time, scientists at the Univers ...

From the deep sea to the shallow seafloor, researchers are uncovering unusual sugars that do something extraordinary to ...

Within tumors in the human body, there are immune cells (macrophages) capable of fighting cancer, but they have been unable ...

A new multi-pronged antibody design could help immune cells receive stronger activation signals against cancer. Researchers ...

The study, published in British scientific journal Nature, suggests that the disease may begin in basal stem cells — ...

Researchers from University of California San Diego Sanford Stem Cell Institute have discovered that spaceflight accelerates the aging of human hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs), which ...

Scientists have discovered that bacteria living inside tumors can produce a molecule that fights cancer and enhances chemotherapy. The molecule, called 2-methylisocitrate (2-MiCit), was found to make ...

Precision and timing of gene expression is essential for normal biological functions and, when disrupted, can lead to many ...

A newly discovered genetic mutation unique to humans may help explain why we are significantly more vulnerable to cancer than our closest evolutionary relatives. Researchers at the University of ...
