Cells that are about to die send a signal to an executioner protein, but sometimes, those cells can fight back and regenerate ...

The immune system provides constant surveillance for the body, aiming to spot and eliminate disease-causing microbes or ...

Senescent fibroblasts are aging cells in connective tissue that no longer divide and protect against tumor development. Yet, these same cells can promote cancer growth in a laboratory setting. Until ...

Cancer cells respond to stress with greater diversity. Drugs that affect DNA replication, or radiation that causes direct DNA damage, lead to increasingly diverse offspring over multiple cell ...

Even with breakthroughs, treatment for advanced squamous cell carcinoma is more complex. Patients often need more than one treatment. Many patients with this advanced cancer are cared for by a team of ...

Colorectal cancer breaks the usual immune rules, with certain regulatory T cells linked to improved survival. In many solid tumors, having a large number of regulatory T (Treg) cells is linked to ...

Georgetown University's Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center researchers have identified a new way to reprogram T cells, ...

A vitamin A byproduct has been found to quietly disarm the immune system, allowing tumors to evade attack and weakening ...

Researchers have unlocked a way to grow the immune system’s “conductors” from stem cells, bringing ready-made cancer-fighting therapies a big step closer. For the first time, scientists at the Univers ...

Scientists have presented a new approach to cancer treatment using mast cells, which are immune cells known for their ability ...

Cancer is a disease that starts with uncontrolled cell division and eventually causes tissue and organ damage. The disease ...
