A deadly form of leukemia may be stopped before it ever develops by introducing targeted maternal screening in the United States, according to new research. The national study, led by physician-scientists at Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer […]
Research conducted at the National Cancer Research Centre (CNIO) has revealed an unexpected behavior observed in a protein involved in several types of cancer: it manages to self-activate, meaning it gives itself the order to […]
Pancreatic cancer remains one of the most difficult cancers to treat, in large part because tumors do not exist in isolation. Instead, they are surrounded by a dense and complex network of blood vessels, connective […]
Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy is one of oncology’s most powerful ideas: Harvest a cancer patient’s own immune cells, genetically engineer them to recognize tumor cells, multiply them in a laboratory and reinject them […]
CAR-T cell therapy works well in blood cancers, but many patients still become resistant. A key reason is the presence of CAR-T regulatory T cells (CAR-Tregs), which weaken immune responses. Therefore, selectively targeting CAR-Tregs while […]
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma is one of the deadliest cancer types, with a five-year survival rate of 13%. There are only two treatment regimens available with limited efficacy. Pancreatic cancers do not respond to immunotherapy where […]
Scientists have developed a way to turn the body’s own immune cells into cancer-fighting agents—without removing them from the body—by using red blood cells to deliver genetic instructions. Current CAR (chimeric antigen receptor) therapies typically […]
People living in areas with fewer resources are less likely to receive cancer screenings from federal clinics, according to a recent study from the University of Georgia published in the Journal of General Internal Medicine.This […]
A genetic alteration that is already routinely analyzed in patients with acute myeloid leukemia can be used to identify patients who respond to a new targeted therapy, according to a study published in the journal […]
Diets and healthy eating habits hold promise for preventing and treating diseases, but far less is known about acute effects on the immune system shortly after a meal.This article was originally published on MedicalXpress.com
