Scientists at the University of Southern California (USC) have discovered a way to produce a potentially renewable supply of cancer-fighting immune cells, opening a promising new direction for cancer treatment.
Cancer immunotherapy has dramatically changed how doctors treat many forms of cancer, yet pancreatic cancer has remained particularly resistant to these advances. A major obstacle is the environment that develops
T cell receptor therapy, known as TCR therapy, is a form of cancer treatment that genetically modifies immune cells called T cells so they can recognize and attack cancer with
Stem cell transplants may be able to repair damage caused by stroke, according to researchers at the University of Zurich. In experiments with mice, the treatment helped generate new neurons,
For some of the most aggressive blood cancers, a stem cell transplant may be the only treatment with the potential to cure the disease. Even so, cancers can return after
A small clinical trial led by researchers at Dana Farber Cancer Institute has tested a treatment strategy that began with laboratory discoveries at the Salk Institute. The idea is to
Cancer rates are increasing among adults of different ages in England, but a new study has uncovered a particularly concerning pattern among younger people. Rates of bowel and ovarian cancer
Scientists at the Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (JAIST) have identified a naturally occurring bacterium from the intestines of Japanese tree frogs (Dryophytes japonicus) that demonstrated remarkable anticancer
Scientists at the University of Southampton have developed a new strategy designed to strengthen how the immune system responds to cancer. The approach aims to help immune cells recognize and
Imagine a world in which a vaccine is a cream you rub onto your skin instead of a needle a health care worker pushes into your one of your muscles.
