Among the challenges in treating disease, including cancer, is wiping out malignancies, infection, contaminants or other ...

A new study led by NYU Langone Health researchers has found that cancer cells are better able to resist treatments when they ...

A new kind of CRISPR that destroys cells rather than gene editing them has shown potential for killing sick cells while leaving healthy cells untouched. The technology has largely been tested in cells ...

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 ...

Cancer immunotherapy is built on a simple but powerful idea: the immune system can recognize and destroy cancer cells if it ...

Scientists at UCLA have developed an "off-the-shelf" cell-based immunotherapy that was able to track down and kill pancreatic cancer cells even after they had spread to other organs. In a mouse study, ...

According to a new study published in the journal Science, the mechanical load from the constant beating of the heart might be aiding in consistently suppressin ...

Since scientists first discovered that human immune cells could be modified to become cancer-fighting agents, they’ve been trying to engineer a cell that’s effective against solid tumors, which ...

Below are summaries of recent Fred Hutch Cancer Center research findings, patient stories and other news. May is the awareness month for skin and bladder cancers, melanoma and mental health. To ...
