New study reveals how cancer killing cells can be activated
Updated : 4 years, 3 months ago IST
Massachusetts (US), November 20 (ANI): If the circumstances are right, the body's T cells are supposed to detect and kill the cancer cells. However, it has been seen that in most cancer patients the T cells become incapable of doing so once they are in the environment surrounding the tumour.

Study finds cancer cells use 'tiny tentacles' to suppress immune system
Updated : 4 years, 3 months ago IST
Boston (Massachusetts) [US], November 18 (ANI): Investigators from Brigham and Women's Hospital and MIT used the power of nanotechnology to discover a new way that cancer can disarm its would-be cellular attackers by extending out nanoscale tentacles that can reach into an immune cell and pu

Study: Spread of cancer gets constrained by high cell membrane tension
Updated : 4 years, 4 months ago IST
Washington [US], November 14 (ANI): A recent research collaboration has discovered that cancer invasion and migration can be suppressed in mice by manipulating the stiffness of the cell membrane. The membranes of cancer cells are more pliant than the membranes of normal cells.
