Hijacking cellular machinery within cancer cells to promote antitumor immunity

Investigators from Mass General Brigham have developed a way to promote antitumor immunity by hijacking cellular machinery within cancer cells.

Northwestern team develops antibody to expose hidden pancreatic cancer cells

Pancreatic cancer is notoriously hard to treat and often resists the most advanced immunotherapies. Northwestern Medicine scientists have uncovered a novel explanation for that resistance: Pancreatic tumors use a sugar-based disguise to hide from the immune system.

Lactate and lactylation drive metabolic, epigenetic reprogramming in gynecological cancers

Lactate, once considered a metabolic waste product, is now recognized as a key regulator of cellular homeostasis and disease progression.

Study reveals how melanoma evolves to resist immunotherapy

A study led by UCLA Health Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center investigators reveals how melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer, evolves to resist immunotherapy and identifies a potential strategy to prevent or reverse that resistance.

Novel nanoparticles can deliver an immune-stimulating molecule directly to ovarian tumors

Cancer immunotherapy, which uses drugs that stimulate the body's immune cells to attack tumors, is a promising approach to treating many types of cancer. However, it doesn't work well for some tumors, including ovarian cancer.

Better treatments buoy multiple-myeloma patients, bound by research cuts and racial disparities

For more than a year, Diane Hunter, now 72, had been experiencing vague symptoms — pain in her spine and hips, nausea, exhaustion, thirst, and frequent urination.

Advances in diagnosis and management of systemic light chain amyloidosis

Systemic light chain (AL) amyloidosis is a rare and life-threatening disorder characterized by the deposition of misfolded immunoglobulin light chains as insoluble amyloid fibrils in various tissues and organs, leading to progressive structural and functional impairment.

Therapeutic potential of Scleromitrion diffusum in gastric cancer treatment

Gastric cancer remains a major global health challenge, characterized by high mortality and limited therapeutic efficacy, especially in advanced stages.

Pharmacists can help control blood sugar in cancer patients with diabetes

People with cancer who received diabetes care from clinical pharmacists achieved significantly better blood sugar control, according to new research from the University of California San Diego.

Targeting myeloid cells to enhance cancer immunotherapy

Mayo Clinic researchers have identified a specific immune cell that can be targeted to give a boost to standard immunotherapies for cancer.

Harnessing extracellular vesicles for targeted lung cancer treatment

In the quest for more targeted lung cancer treatments, a researcher at the University of Missouri thinks the solution may lie in tiny bubble-shaped packages that cells use to talk to each other.

AI indelibly transforms solid tumor drug development

Artificial intelligence (AI) is fundamentally reshaping the landscape of solid tumor (ST) drug development.

29 Oct 2025

Novel computational platform can design synthetic protein receptors from scratch

Cancer immunotherapy, especially using T cells, is showing a lot of promise in treating blood cancers. Bioengineered T cells, especially those equipped with chimeric antigen receptors (CAR-T cells), have revolutionized cancer treatment.

Study finds up to 5% of Americans carry genetic mutations linked to increased cancer susceptibility

New Cleveland Clinic research reveals that up to 5% of Americans – approximately 17 million people – carry genetic mutations or "variants" linked to increased cancer susceptibility, regardless of risk factors like personal or family cancer history.

27 Oct 2025

Mitochondria and lysosomes work together to control regulatory T cell activation

Metabolism guides the activation states of regulatory T cells, the immune cells that prevent inappropriate activation of the immune system.

24 Oct 2025

Leveraging the power of T cells for more effective and durable cancer immunotherapies

T cells play central roles in the adaptive immune response against cancer. Their functional inactivation is a primary driver of tumor progression, making the reactivation of T cell function a main goal in immunotherapy.

24 Oct 2025

How COVID mRNA vaccines may make cancer treatments more effective

Researchers found that COVID-19 mRNA vaccines, when given within 100 days of starting immune checkpoint inhibitors, were linked to significantly longer survival in lung and melanoma cancer patients. The vaccines trigger a powerful type-I interferon response that primes tumors to become more responsive to immunotherapy.
