The Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) researchers have developed a way to reprogram immune cells already inside tumours into cancer-killing machines.
New Delhi [India], September 22: Cancer treatment has transformed significantly over the years and is moving beyond a generic and uniform approach. Although chemotherapy was the foundation of cancer treatment for decades, the development of immunotherapy has created new opportunities for doc
Ahmedabad (Gujarat) [India], August 6: Intas Pharmaceuticals has launched HETRONIFLY™ (Serplulimab), the first PD-1 inhibitor globally approved for the treatment of Extensive-Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer (ES-SCLC), in the Indian market. This marks another major milestone, following the
People's immune systems deteriorate as they age, making cancer therapies that rely on immune cells difficult to implement. In a new study, researchers from the University of Lausanne (UNIL), the Lausanne University Hospital (CHUV), the Geneva University Hospitals (HUG), and the Ecole Polytec
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
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.
Prolonged illnesses, such as cancer and persistent infections, can fatigue the immune system, causing its frontline defenders, T cells, to lose their ability to act efficiently.
New Delhi [India], January 31: Allergic rhinitis is a very common condition often termed as hay fever, which affects millions of people globally. This chronic condition arises from the reaction of the immune system to allergens like pollen, dust mites, mold, or animal dander. Although it's n
Kanpur (Uttar Pradesh) [India], December 27: Thangam Cancer Treatment Center located in Namakkal has been providing cancer treatment for more than 40 years. More than 10 thousand cancer treatments have been successfully completed here so far. Thangam Cancer Treatment Center is making many ac
Researchers at Emory University's Winship Cancer Institute discovered a new form of immune cell known as the stem-like CD4 T cell, which plays an important role in anti-tumor immunity. The pre-clinical findings, published in Nature, indicate the potential for activating these cells to combat
According to a preclinical study conducted by Weill Cornell Medicine researchers, it may soon be feasible to detect whether individuals with hepatocellular carcinoma, a kind of liver cancer, may benefit from immunotherapy.
