Researchers identify immune cell that helps kill bladder cancer tumors
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
Mount Sinai researchers have made two important discoveries about the mechanism by which bladder cancer cells foil attacks from the immune system. The research, published in Cancer Cell in September, could lead to a new therapeutic option for patients with these types of tumors.

Researchers reveal how ammonia dysregulates T cell function
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
According to new research, mice with colorectal cancer who have tumours with high levels of ammonia have fewer T cells and are less responsive to immunotherapy. Ammonia, which is crucial for anti-tumor immunity, has been demonstrated to impede the proliferation and operation of T cells.

Study suggests protein plays a key role in immunotherapy
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
The study found protein is crucial in helping malignancies avoid immune attacks. The "fragile X mental retardation protein" (FMRP) is a protein that controls a network of genes and cells in the tumor microenvironment that help the tumor "hidden" from immune cells.
