A hidden “jack-in-the-box” mechanism inside T cells may hold the key to unlocking more powerful cancer immunotherapies.

Such an advancement would allow for one of the most successful non-chemo cancer treatments to be done both faster and cheaper ...

CAR T-cell therapy can be a lifesaving treatment for blood cancers like leukemia and lymphoma. The gene therapy trains a patient’s T cells—white blood cells that play an important role in the immune ...

One of the most exciting advances in cancer treatments in the past decade is the development of T cell immunotherapies, in which a patient's own immune system is trained to recognize and attack ...

INDIANAPOLIS — New research by the IU School of Medicine is looking at new ways to fight aggressive cancers. Right now the focus is on enhancing treatment options for aggressive cancers like triple ...

Tumors are stressful places for cancer-fighting immune cells. Low oxygen, high acid levels, and other stressors put strain on mitochondria, the cell’s energy factories, leading to T cell exhaustion ...

New research shows lymph nodes aren’t just cancer bystanders, they’re the command centers fueling immune attacks. Surgically removing them along with tumors may weaken treatment, while preserving them ...

A new study explains how pancreatic tumors use a sugar coating to hide from the immune system and shows that a newly ...

In a first-of-its-kind clinical trial, UCLA scientists have shown it's possible to reprogram a patient's blood-forming stem cells to generate a continuous supply of functional T cells, the immune ...

Mountain climbers and endurance athletes are not the only ones to benefit from altitude training - that is, learning to perform well under low-oxygen conditions. It turns out that cancer-fighting ...

In a groundbreaking study, a healthy fatty acid in olive oil and nuts has been found to "supercharge" immune cells specialized to fight cancer. Meanwhile, another kind of natural fatty acid undermines ...

A laboratory study reveals an interaction between dietary fiber and the gut microbiome that may be helpful for fighting cancer. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...
