Study reveals how the tumor suppressor gene plays a vital role in pediatric rhabdomyosarcoma

Scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital have revealed how the tumor suppressor gene PTEN plays a more important role in pediatric rhabdomyosarcoma than was previously appreciated.

Novel T cells reside in lymph nodes and offer protection against melanoma

Immunotherapy is an advancing field but there is limited knowledge on the immunity to metastatic tumors in locations like lymph nodes.

Vaccinating against certain cancer proteins can boost overall immune response and shrink tumors

Over the past decade, scientists have been exploring vaccination as a way to help fight cancer. These experimental cancer vaccines are designed to stimulate the body's own immune system to destroy a tumor, by injecting fragments of cancer proteins found on the tumor.

Hundreds of mutated tumor suppressor genes can help cancer cells evade the immune system

Hundreds of cancer-linked genes play a different role in causing disease than scientists had expected.

New genetic classifier can predict the sensitivity of chemotherapy for breast cancer

A team of researchers recently postulated a genetic classifier with the ability to predict the sensitivity of neoadjuvant chemotherapy for breast cancer in the area of tumor molecular markers.

Researchers develop novel cell reprogramming strategy to slow down glioblastomas

Gliomas are the most common primary brain tumors in adults. Among them, high-grade glioblastomas (GBMs) are particularly known to be notoriously aggressive and invasive, which makes it challenging to treat them.

Constitutive BAK/MCL1 complexes could predict sensitivity of chemotherapy drugs, research shows

A research team led by Prof. DAI Haiming from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences recently announced the constitutive BAK/MCL1 complexes could predict chemotherapy drugs sensitivity of ovarian cancer. The result has been published on Cell death & disease.

New treatment developed from plant virus could keep metastatic cancers at bay

Using a virus that grows in black-eyed pea plants, nanoengineers at the University of California San Diego developed a new treatment that could keep metastatic cancers at bay from the lungs.

Eosinophils combat cancer metastases in the lungs, says research

Recent research at Tel Aviv University identified that eosinophils—a kind of white blood cells—are recruited for the fight against cancer metastases in the lungs.

Scientists devise a strategy to enhance anti-tumor immunity

A synthetic molecular code exhibits the potential of enhancing the response of certain cancer patients to immunotherapy treatments.

Scientists explore whether consuming cocoa can help us age better

Whether consuming cocoa, known to be packed with powerful antioxidants that protect our cells from damage, helps us age better, is a question scientists want to definitively answer.

Scientists develop a new way to grow pancreatic "organoids"

MIT engineers, in collaboration with scientists at Cancer Research UK Manchester Institute, have developed a new way to grow tiny replicas of the pancreas, using either healthy or cancerous pancreatic cells.

Research identifies an unnoticed site for priming of CD8+ T cells—the spleen

CD8+ T cells, also called “killer” T cells, are the killers of the immune system. Upon being primed, they look for and kill cancerous cells or virus-infected cells.

New approach to identify molecular targets for improved prostate cancer therapy

In a new study, researchers have introduced DSER, a technique for identifying molecular targets for enhanced therapy in prostate cancer.

14 Sep 2021

UAB researchers identify an unnoticed additional site for priming of "killer" T cells

CD8+ T cells -; known as "killer" T cells -; are the assassins of the immune system. Once they are primed, they seek out and destroy other cells that are infected with virus or cells that are cancerous.

Study imparts mechanistic understanding on early stages of human cancer

Scientists demonstrated that normal human fibroblast cells can be converted to specific cancer cells through factors that are identified in actual human patients.

Study unearths previously unknown role of CTCF, the transcription regulator

Researchers discovered evidence that CTCF governs chromatin accessibility, the mechanism of opening tightly spooled DNA facilitating gene expression.

9 Sep 2021

Stem-like T cells found in certain lymph nodes could be natural cancer fighters

Researchers performed a new study and demonstrated that stem-like T cells found in some lymph nodes could exhibit natural cancer-fighting properties.
