Cancer immunotherapy has been transformed by engineered T cells, but those bespoke treatments are slow, expensive, and out of ...

MIT researchers have developed an experimental mRNA-based therapy that restored key immune functions lost with age in mice.

CAR T-cell therapy can be a lifesaving treatment for blood cancers like leukemia and lymphoma. The gene therapy trains a patient’s T cells—white blood cells that play an important role in the immune ...

CAR T-cell therapy, which transforms patients’ own immune cells into cancer-fighting warriors, has revolutionized how physicians treat cancer, especially blood cancers. “These patients can be cured ...

Tumors are stressful places for cancer-fighting immune cells. Low oxygen, high acid levels, and other stressors put strain on mitochondria, the cell’s energy factories, leading to T cell exhaustion ...

A new study explains how pancreatic tumors use a sugar coating to hide from the immune system and shows that a newly ...

In a first-of-its-kind clinical trial, UCLA scientists have shown it’s possible to reprogram a patient’s blood-forming stem cells to generate a continuous supply of functional T cells, the immune ...

A carotenoid that's already widely available in fruit and vegetables, and as a supplement, has been found to bolster the cancer-fighting abilities of immune cells, making it a promising new candidate ...

A laboratory study reveals an interaction between dietary fiber and the gut microbiome that may be helpful for fighting cancer. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...

In a groundbreaking study, a healthy fatty acid in olive oil and nuts has been found to "supercharge" immune cells specialized to fight cancer. Meanwhile, another kind of natural fatty acid undermines ...

Mountain climbers and endurance athletes are not the only ones to benefit from altitude training - that is, learning to perform well under low-oxygen conditions. It turns out that cancer-fighting ...

Reducing calorie intake helps cancer-fighting immune cells do their jobs more effectively, reports a study by Van Andel Institute scientists and collaborators. The findings lay the groundwork for ...
