Creatine, the organic acid that is popularly taken as a supplement by athletes and bodybuilders, supercharges a critical ...

Scientists at McGill University have found a way to supercharge the immune system’s natural killer (NK) cells, helping them break through the defenses tumors use to stay alive. By temporarily blocking ...

For years, one of the most powerful weapons against certain blood cancers, called CAR-T therapy, has required an elaborate process: Doctors extract a patient’s immune cells, ship them to a specialized ...

Immune Checkpoint Blockade (ICB) has revolutionized the treatment of cancers like melanoma, but up to 60% of patients don't respond to this immunotherapy for reasons not yet fully understood.

A research team led by Albert Einstein College of Medicine scientists has developed a new strategy to engineer immune cells that dramatically prolongs their effectiveness after being infused into ...

The current path to CAR-T cell therapy is, by any measure, a logistical ordeal. A patient’s immune cells must be drawn out of the body, shipped to a specialized facility, genetically reprogrammed, ...

Sydney scientists have made a major cancer breakthrough, watching the body fight off tumour cells in real time in a development they say could help improve treatment for one of Australia’s worst ...

T cells are crucial components of our immune system, serving as critical protectors against infection and disease. But there are limits to their defensive capabilities. T cells are not inexhaustible ...

Scientists have uncovered a surprising way tumors turn the immune system to their advantage. Researchers at the University of Geneva found that neutrophils—normally frontline defenders against ...

Utah State University scientists recently unveiled a new type of CRISPR biotechnology with the ability to selectively target ...

Scientists have developed a strategy to boost the cancer-fighting power of natural killer (NK) cells, part of the immune system's first line of defense. NK cells can detect and destroy cancer cells, ...
