Study suggests cancer therapy can be improved by cellular messengers
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
The findings of a new study suggest that nano-sized membrane bubbles known as extracellular vesicles activate the immune system in mice and seem to render their tumours sensitive to a type of immunotherapy drug called a checkpoint inhibitor.

Appendiceal cancer gets its own preclinical model
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
Appendiceal cancer (malignancies of the appendix, a small tissue pouch that is part of the gastrointestinal tract) is very rare, occurring in perhaps one or two people per 1 million per year. Prognoses are mixed, with a 5-year survival rate of 67 to 97 per cent for low-grade tumours detected

Study finds common mechanism tumours use to suppress immune responses
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
A Ludwig Cancer Research study has revealed a single protein expressed at high levels by cancer cells across a broad range of malignancies that erects a multifaceted barrier to anti-cancer immune responses in mouse models of cancer and so shields tumours from immune detection and destruction
