Scientists solve a major roadblock in cancer cell therapy: Study
Updated : 1 month, 3 weeks ago IST
Researchers have found a reliable way to grow helper T cells from stem cells, solving a major challenge in immune-based cancer therapy. Helper T cells act as the immune system's coordinators, helping other immune cells fight longer and harder.

Natural compound targets tumour metabolism: Study
Updated : 5 months, 1 week ago IST
Scientists in Japan have discovered that a natural compound found in a type of ginger called kencur can throw cancer cells into disarray by disrupting how they generate energy.

New antibody reduces tumor growth in treatment-resistant breast, ovarian c
Updated : 5 months, 1 week ago IST
Immunotherapy, or antibody treatment that activates the patient's own immune system against cancer, is increasingly being studied as an alternative to chemotherapy and radiotherapy. This is because it directly targets cancer cells, reducing the negative effects associated with more conventi

New insights into how cancer evades the immune system: Study
Updated : 1 year ago IST
Immunotherapy research primarily focuses on better recognition of cancer cells by the body's own immune system. Researchers at Amsterdam UMC and Moffitt Cancer Center have taken a different approach.

Taiwanese researchers uncover new cancer signalling mechanism
Updated : 1 year, 1 month ago IST
Researchers from CCU and NCKU have discovered a new cancer signalling mechanism that enables pancreatic cancer cells to evade immune destruction and sustain tumour growth. The TIMP1-CD63 signalling pathway, along with DUSP2 deficiency, creates a self-perpetuating cycle that accelerates cance

Here is how cancer cells fend off starvation, death from chemotherapy, fin
Updated : 5 months, 1 week ago IST
Laboratory experiments with cancer cells reveal two ways in which tumors evade drugs designed to starve and kill them, a new study shows. While chemotherapy successfully treats tumours and extends patients' lives, it is known that they do not work for everyone for long, since cancer cells re

Study finds how cancer cells of fat may improve cancer treatment
Updated : 1 year, 4 months ago IST
A study by Van Andel Institute scientists suggests that restricting cancer cells' access to fat may enhance the effectiveness of certain cancer treatments.

Study finds how bacterial vaccine demonstrates potential as treatment for
Updated : 1 year, 4 months ago IST
Columbia researchers developed probiotic bacteria that train the immune system to eliminate cancer cells, paving the way for a new class of cancer vaccinations that take advantage of bacteria's innate tumour-targeting abilities. These microbial cancer vaccines can be tailored to each person'

Researchers discover that unique immune cells stop metastatic cancer
Updated : 1 year, 5 months ago IST
The majority of cancer deaths are caused by metastatic disease, which occurs when cancer spreads from the primary tumour to other areas of the body. and researchers understand how cancer cells escape the primary location to seed new tumours, it is unclear why some cancer cells produce new t
