Cornell biomedical engineers have developed specialized white blood cells - dubbed "super natural killer cells" - that seek out cancer cells in lymph nodes with only one purpose: destroy them. This ...
A fluorescent probe for visualizing the signaling dynamics in metastatic cancer cells has been developed. A research team at the University of Turku (Finland), led by Johanna Ivaska and James Conway, ...
CAR T-cell therapy can be a lifesaving treatment for blood cancers like leukemia and lymphoma. The gene therapy trains a patient’s T cells—white blood cells that play an important role in the immune ...
Scientists discovered that inhibiting the enzyme STK17B forces multiple myeloma cells into iron-driven death and makes therapies more effective. Early mouse studies show strong potential for a new ...
CAR T cell immunotherapy, which uses a patient’s own modified immune cells to find and destroy cancer cells, can produce dramatic results when treating blood cancers, such as lymphoma and leukemia, ...
He made a conceptual leap in immunotherapy by creating a hybrid T-cell, known as CAR-T, that was genetically modified to destroy cancer cells. By Richard Sandomir Zelig Eshhar, an immunologist whose ...
