Study reveals mechanism by which malignant cells shut down anti-cancer immune responses

A Ludwig Cancer Research study has revealed a single protein expressed at high levels by cancer cells across a broad range of malignancies that erects a multifaceted barrier to anti-cancer immune responses in mouse models of cancer and so shields tumors from immune detection and destruction.

Scientific gathering aims to integrate advances in cancer and aging research

Institute for Research in Biomedicine - IRB Ageing is the main risk factor for the development of cancer, and the features shared by these two biological processes are increasingly evident. This week the Institute for Research in Biomedicine (IRB Barcelona) and the BBVA Foundation are holding the 38th Barcelona Biomed conference "Quantitative dynamics of aging and premalignancy". Held at the Sant Pau Art Nouveau Site on 14, 15 and 16 November, the event will be hosting 21 internationally recognized experts in the field who will present their latest breakthroughs.
