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 ...

Every encounter between a T cell and a potential target—especially when that target is a developing tumor—begins with a rapid ...

Researchers from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have discovered a promising new way to improve CAR-T cell therapy for solid tumors such as lung cancer and melanoma. The study, published ...

When a cancer cell leaves the original tumor to spread to a new, faraway location, it first has to survive what most cells ...

Scientists have discovered that T cell receptors activate through a hidden spring-like motion that had never been seen before. This breakthrough may help explain why immunotherapy works for some ...

Since scientists first discovered that human immune cells could be modified to become cancer-fighting agents, they’ve been trying to engineer a cell that’s effective against solid tumors, which ...

UC Santa Barbara postdoctoral researcher Ishwaree Datta studies how cancer cells mount stress response programs to survive ...

• BTK inhibitors are a type of targeted therapy for mantle cell lymphoma that works by blocking a specific enzyme, BTK, which is crucial for the cancer cells’ survival and spread. This interference ...

A novel immunotherapy could lead to a brain cancer breakthrough after showing promising results against glioblastoma, the ...
