A study led by researchers at Moffitt Cancer Center found that normal cells surrounding a tumor, known as cancer-associated ...

Long before a liver tumor appears, a high-fat diet can push liver cells into a risky survival mode. That is the central ...

For the first time, researchers at the University of British Columbia have demonstrated how to reliably produce an important type of human immune cell—known as helper T cells—from stem cells in a ...

The immune system provides constant surveillance for the body, aiming to spot and eliminate disease-causing microbes or ...

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 ...

Randomness inside cells can decide whether a cancer returns after chemotherapy or whether an infection survives antibiotics.

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

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 ...

Researchers are targeting dormant tumour cells that might explain why some cancers reappear long after successful treatment.

CAR-T therapy is a major advance in cancer care, but high costs and centralized global manufacturing limit access.

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 ...

Colorectal cancer breaks the usual immune rules, with certain regulatory T cells linked to improved survival. In many solid ...
