Immature natural killer cells in donor cord blood can sabotage engineered immune cells before they even reach the tumour.

Cancer immunotherapy can lose its punch when tumor-fighting T cells become exhausted, but researchers may have found a way to keep them going longer. Scientists at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer ...

Non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most common type of cancer affecting the lungs. The diverse types of NSCLC are characterized by cancer cells that grow and spread in different ways. The three ...

A biophysics model describing how cancers spread within the human body could help researchers developing new cancer therapies ...

Found in 70 percent of cancers, the gene is seen as a grand orchestrator but has been surprisingly difficult to stop.

Cancer cells work together to source nutrients from their environment—a cooperative process that was previously overlooked by scientists but may be a promising target for treating cancer. "We ...
