Cancer cells are known to reawaken embryonic genes to grow. A new study reveals the disease also hijacks the proteins, or ...

Researchers at MIT and Harvard have developed CAR-NK cells, which could lead to more effective cancer treatment.

Due to the small size and height of the Eva1 molecule, Eva1CAR-T cells can form more effective immune synapses—contact zones between an immune cell and its target tumor cells. The formation of robust ...

Cancer cells have fewer heavy hydrogen atoms in their lipids as compared to healthy cells. The finding unearths a potential geochemical tool for cancer diagnosis in the future. As the daughter of a ...

A new cancer treatment combines LED light and tiny tin flakes to neutralize cancer cells while shielding healthy cells and ...

Cancer cells can brainwash their neighbors. Like the CIA deploying secret agents to turn an enemy, tumors use a similar strategy to manipulate nearby cells. The tumors’ agents are mitochondria, the ...

Cancer can grow slowly or appear suddenly. It happens when cells stop following normal instructions and start behaving badly. For decades, doctors focused on killing these cells using chemotherapy or ...

Researchers at MUSC Hollings Cancer Center have discovered a potentially powerful weapon in the fight against head and neck cancers. The new drug, still in preclinical studies, attacks cancer cells ...

Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) refer to cancer cells that have broken off from a primary tumor. These tumor cells can travel through the blood in the circulatory system and lodge themselves in other ...
