Researchers at Mount Sinai have developed a novel approach to cancer immunotherapy, injecting immune stimulants directly into a tumor to teach the immune system to destroy it and other tumor... Read more
Australian scientists have discovered how the immune system can control melanoma, a mechanism which could be used to enhance cancer treatments. Published today in Nature, Peter Doherty Insti... Read more
For the first time, a research team at Lund University in Sweden has successfully reprogrammed mouse and human skin cells into immune cells called dendritic cells. The process is quick and e... Read more
Scientists have equipped a virus that kills carcinoma cells with a protein so it can also target and kill adjacent cells that are tricked into shielding the cancer from the immune system. It... Read more
The New CRISPR-Based System Will Open the Door to Next-Generation Targeted Immunotherapies Immunotherapy can cure some cancers that until fairly recently were considered fatal. In addition t... Read more
A new study by Dana-Farber Cancer Institute scientists suggests it may be possible to prevent tumors from recurring and to eradicate metastatic growths by implanting a gel containing immunot... Read more
New methods developed for the study could be applied to devise personalized, cell-based immunotherapies for epithelial ovarian cancer or other types of tumors A Ludwig Cancer Research study... Read more
Discovery could broaden effectiveness of emerging therapies for cancer and other diseases that are based on boosting the natural immune system response Researchers at University of Californi... Read more
Macrophages are cells of the immune system that protect the host from invading pathogens. But in cancer, macrophages can be “hijacked” by tumors, and made to support their malignant growth a... Read more
US researchers have revealed(link is external) the identity of molecules on the surface of cancer cells which allow the body’s immune system to identify and destroy them. The research... Read more
