A study led by researchers at Moffitt Cancer Center found that normal cells surrounding a tumor, known as cancer-associated ...

Researchers have identified a new method of activating specific molecules to target cancer cells while leaving healthy cells unharmed. Using click-release proteolysis targeting chimeras, researchers ...

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have revolutionized cancer treatment by using a patient’s own T-cells to target tumors. However, they can cause rare but potentially fatal cardiac inflammation ...

Gastric cancer cells can activate KRAS-driven signals, enabling autonomous tumor growth by producing their own WNT proteins. New research reveals how gastric cancer cells exploit WNT signaling for ...

In a study using human breast cancer cells, scientists say they have potentially identified immune system white blood cells that appear to be the closest neighbors of breast cancer cells that are ...

Drug-carrying DNA aptamers can deliver a one-two punch to leukemia by precisely targeting the elusive cancer stem cells that seed cancer relapses, researchers report. The aptamers -- short ...

Endometriosis is a disease wherein tissue similar to what lines the uterus grows outside of it. The disease, which affects 10% of women of reproductive age worldwide, causes severe pain and often ...

Balancing the immune system is a delicate act. If it’s too weak, infections and cancer can take hold; if it’s too strong, autoimmune diseases or transplant rejection can occur. Researchers have ...

Researchers have created a nanotherapy that selectively targets and shuts down the immune cells responsible for causing an allergic response in mice, preventing anaphylaxis. Able to be tailored to ...

For many people, living longer brings health challenges: Osteoporosis, diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease. And of course, zombie cells. The technical term is senescent cells. They’re damaged and unable to ...
