Antibody discovery could provide new treatment options for aggressive breast cancers

A new potential antibody therapy strategy which restricts the growth of treatment-resistant breast cancers has been developed by scientists.

23 Oct 2025

New type of immunotherapy could change the treatment plan for triple-negative breast cancer

Triple-negative breast cancer is one of the most aggressive cancers. The name tells the story: It lacks the three main targets that make other types of breast cancers more treatable with powerful therapies.

Pathogenic bacteria can block gut’s natural defense to spread infection

When harmful bacteria that cause food poisoning, such as E. coli, invade through the digestive tract, gut cells usually fight back by pushing infected cells out of the body to stop the infection from spreading.

Proimmune expands into new 18,000 sq ft global headquarters enabling major expansion in immunology and life science innovation

ProImmune Ltd, a global leader in life science reagents and services, today announced the opening of its new global headquarters building at Oasis Park, Oxford, enabling significant expansion of its operations and capacity to serve its global client base.

22 Oct 2025

Epigenetic editing enables safer and more effective T cell therapies

Arc Institute, Gladstone Institutes, and University of California, San Francisco, scientists have developed an epigenetic editing platform that enables safe modification of multiple genes in primary human T cells, addressing a key manufacturing and scalability challenge in next-generation cell therapies.

21 Oct 2025

Researchers develop a novel approach to monitor CD8⁺ T cell activity over time

The ability of immune cells-particularly CD8+ T cells-to launch a rapid burst of proliferation inside tumors is key to the success of modern day cancer immunotherapies.

Food allergy diagnoses plummet after guideline implementation

Peanuts represent one of the most common causes of immunoglobulin E (IgE)-mediated, or anaphylactic, food allergies in children, yet a landmark study found that early introduction of peanut to infants may lower their risk of developing this allergy.

Research reveals how immune cells orchestrate the release of toxic granules

When immune cells strike, precision is everything. New research reveals how natural killer and T cells orchestrate the release of toxic granules – microscopic packages that destroy virus-infected or cancerous cells.

Scientists discover why a powerful leukemia drug fails in most patients

Researchers from Rutgers Health and other institutions have discovered why a powerful leukemia drug eventually fails in most patients – and found a potential way to overcome that resistance.

17 Oct 2025

Restoring pleiotrophin shows promise for improving brain function in Down syndrome

Faulty brain circuits seen in Down syndrome may be caused by the lack of a particular molecule essential for the development and function of the nervous system, new research suggests.

New insights into how bacteria can drive treatment resistance in oral and colorectal cancer

Researchers from The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have discovered a previously unknown mechanism that explains how bacteria can drive treatment resistance in patients with oral and colorectal cancer.

16 Oct 2025

Low-dose steroids show promise for treating severe kidney inflammation

Will it be possible to treat severe kidney inflammation with fewer drugs in the future? A new study by the University Hospital Bonn (UKB), the University of Bonn, and the University of Hamburg gives cause for hope.
