Cancer imaging is entering a phase where malignant cells no longer hide in murky grayscale but flare into view with surgical precision. Across operating rooms, scanners, and even blood tests, ...

Researchers have unlocked a way to grow the immune system’s “conductors” from stem cells, bringing ready-made cancer-fighting therapies a big step closer. For the first time, scientists at the Univers ...

When cancer cells are physically squeezed, they mount an instant, high-energy defense by rushing mitochondria to the cell nucleus, unleashing a surge of ATP that fuels DNA repair and survival. This ...

Within tumors in the human body, there are immune cells (macrophages) capable of fighting cancer, but they have been unable ...

Researchers have developed a new class of antibodies that amplify the immune system’s ability to fight cancer. By clustering ...

For the first time, researchers at the University of British Columbia have demonstrated how to reliably produce an important ...

Randomness inside cells can decide whether a cancer returns after chemotherapy or whether an infection survives antibiotics.

Normally, the immune system recognizes and eliminates abnormal cells. However, cancer cells can develop strategies to evade this control: they block defense mechanisms or send inhibitory signals. In ...

New research shows lymph nodes aren’t just cancer bystanders, they’re the command centers fueling immune attacks. Surgically removing them along with tumors may weaken treatment, while preserving them ...
