Combination drug strategy activates natural killer cell-mediated immunity to attack tumors

Most skin cancer drugs that activate the immune system work by triggering immune cells, called T cells, to attack tumors, but when T cells are activated for too long, they can wear out and cease to function.

New component of cell death process could play key role in infection-fighting strategy

Researchers have unmasked a component of the cell death process that could play a vital role in a better infection-fighting strategy.

Social stress factors have a direct impact on cellular mechanisms that drive deadly breast cancer

Chronically stressful conditions of daily life such as racism, pollution and poverty have a direct impact on the cellular mechanisms that drive lethal, invasive forms of breast cancer, according to a study led by Duke Cancer Institute researchers.

New molecule kills a broad spectrum of hard-to-treat cancers

A new molecule synthesized by a University of Texas at Dallas researcher kills a broad spectrum of hard-to-treat cancers, including triple-negative breast cancer, by exploiting a weakness in cells not previously targeted by other drugs.

Aspirin changes the way colorectal cancer cells evolve over time, study reveals

Cancer starts when cells start dividing uncontrollably. Scientists have known that taking aspirin can help protect against the development of colorectal cancer – cancer afflicting the colon or rectum – but the exact reason aspirin has this effect has been mostly a mystery.

Membrane lipid stops stress reactions and inhibits cell death

Programmed cell death is an important tool that an organism uses to keep itself healthy. When a cell does not function as it should, various stress reactions are activated. The goal of these reactions is to restore the original cell function.

Researchers identify chemical compound that may short-circuit brain cell death in Parkinson's disease

In studies in mice, Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers say they have identified a chemical compound that stops the final events in the pathway linked to the death of brain cells in Parkinson's disease.

Scientists develop new way to attack synovial sarcoma using an investigational drug

Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have developed a way to attack synovial sarcoma - a rare tumor of soft tissues, such as ligaments and muscles - using an investigational drug that triggers cell death.
