Imagine a super-charged immune cell that can launch a focused attack on stubborn solid tumors—a smart fighter that destroys ...

Today, 85% of children with cancer survive to adulthood and about 1 in 3 are left infertile from chemotherapy or radiation.

This study provides proof-of-principle data for the use of trained immunity to modulate macrophage interactions with tumours. The study makes a valuable contribution to the field of trained immunity.

For organs to develop, grow and regenerate, cells must proliferate. But when that process goes awry, leading to uncontrolled cell growth, cancer can emerge.

The body's cells respond to stress -- toxins, mutations, starvation or other assaults -- by pausing normal functions to focus on conserving energy, repairing damaged components and boosting defenses.

Synthetic Biology is advancing the use of microorganisms as cancer therapies, with scientists engineering bacteria to boost antitumor immunity and deliver ...

The discovery could pave the way for a groundbreaking RNA-based multi-cancer treatment. Alternative RNA splicing functions ...

In a study on ovarian cancer cells, researchers from Karolinska Institutet demonstrate how the tumor environment influences ...

Chemotherapy kills regular cells, as well as cancer cells, and this is why side effects occur. Many people experience these adverse effects, but some people have few or none. Cancer and the ...

Complete remission means that a person's cancer is responding to treatment, that they have no signs or symptoms of the disease, and there are no cancerous cells in their body that can be detected ...
