In a wholly new approach to cancer treatment, Northwestern University biomedical engineers have doubled the effectiveness of chemotherapy in animal experiments.

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

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

Two junior research groups at Ruhr University Bochum, Germany, have developed a drug complex that kills cancer cells in such ...

Cancer cells rapidly adapt to treatments, developing resistance that makes chemotherapy less effective. Researchers used an existing anti-inflammatory drug to disrupt cancer cells’ ability to adapt by ...

In a new study published in Cancer Immunology Research, scientists at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have developed a novel method to generate billions of rare immune cells known as ...

Cancer cells turbocharge themselves by stealing the energy-producing units from neurons in tumours, scientists report today in Nature 1. This act of thievery seems to give cancer cells a boost to ...

Neurons often receive organelles called mitochondria from other cells. It emerges that neurons donate mitochondria that support cancer-cell spread.

Researchers at the University of Oxford and Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) have uncovered the mechanism by which cells identify and repair a highly toxic form of DNA ...
