Scientists have discovered a sugar compound from deep-sea bacteria that can destroy cancer cells in a dramatic way. This natural substance, produced by microbes living in the ocean, causes cancer ...

A new study from Professor Vadim Backman shows that restoring cellular memory prevents cancer cells’ ability to adapt to evade treatment.

He made a conceptual leap in immunotherapy by creating a hybrid T-cell, known as CAR-T, that was genetically modified to ...

A new drug was shown to significantly reduce tumor growth in lab studies by up to 77% for melanoma and colorectal cancers.

Colon cancer remains a major global health concern, ranking third among the most diagnosed cancers and the leading cause of ...

Cancer is not a welcome diagnosis, but breakthroughs in genetic sequencing and immunotherapy are making some cancers easier to treat than others.A local father and grandfather was told he had ...

So-called killer T cells can destroy cancer cells by latching onto them and then secreting toxins that destroy them from the inside. There are two types of toxins that do this; perforins, which ...

Scientists have developed a hydrogel “rest stop” that shields cancer-fighting T cells, delaying their exhaustion and boosting ...

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 ...

Cancer cells can boost their own growth by stealing energy-generating parts from nearby immune cells. We already knew that some cell types grow nanotubes, tentacle-like structures made of a ...
