Researchers have found a way to supercharge natural killer cells, powerful immune cells that can attack cancer, so they can ...

The immune system possesses legions of T cells that, if primed, could hunt down and destroy tumors. Now, a UC San Francisco ...

Chemotherapy remains what many people picture when they hear a cancer diagnosis, but treatment for certain blood cancers now ...

When a cell gets ready to divide, it shuts down its gene-reading machinery almost entirely. For decades, the mechanism behind ...

Scientists made universal stem-cell-derived dendritic "immune teacher" cells that can be coated with a patient’s tumor ...

By using mRNA molecules to “remodel” parts of the immune system, researchers generated T cells that can slow the growth of ...

Scientists at UCLA have developed an "off-the-shelf" cell-based immunotherapy that was able to track down and kill pancreatic cancer cells even after they had spread to other organs. In a mouse study, ...

Dr. Stacy Wentworth explains to patients and caregivers that long-term survivorship in small cell lung cancer were beyond what oncologists were taught to expect when she finished ...

A new stem-cell-inspired technique allows scientists to grow vast numbers of immune-cell progenitors that can be engineered to hunt cancer and strengthen immune responses. In animal studies, the cells ...

Andrea Califano began his career as a physicist. But that's not why he's now calling cancer a quantum disease. "We're really ...
