An epigenetic mechanism by which tumors manage to hide from the body's immune defenses has just been described by an ...

A new study by the Garvan Institute of Medical Research has uncovered a hidden mechanism explaining why breast cancer can ...

Researchers may have discovered why cancer cells are able to reproduce endlessly, a finding that could lead to drugs that would attack disease cells directly without harming healthy tissue. Dr. Calvin ...

They found that cells for both cancer lines which had been treated with CBD or THC formed fewer and smaller colonies of cells. Though both compounds worked to prevent cancer cells reproducing, ...

Immunotherapy, which uses programmed immune cells to selectively destroy cancer cells, has transformed cancer treatment. However, cancer cells have developed immune evasion strategies, leading to poor ...

Scientists at UCLA have developed an "off-the-shelf" cell-based immunotherapy that was able to track down and kill pancreatic cancer cells even after they had spread to other organs. In a mouse study, ...

When activated by its target, the newly characterized molecule rips the genome apart, a lethal move that researchers can ...

Researchers found a new way to kill harmful “zombie” cells that linger after chemotherapy and help cancers become more ...

Being overweight or obese has long been linked to a greater risk of developing or dying from breast cancer. New research suggests a reason: Certain breast cancer tumors may feed on neighboring fat ...

In the future, scientists could use drugs made from cannabis to fight ovarian cancer. A team of scientists testing the effects of two chemical compounds sourced from cannabis on ovarian cancer cells ...
