Cancer cells that have broken away from a primary tumor can lurk in the body for years in a dormant state, evading immune ...

Dormant lung cancer cells change their shape from spindle shaped (above) to round (below), which helps protect them from the body's immune defenders.

Jorge Manchola, a retired Air Force staff sergeant, was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer in 2023. The cancer had spread to ...

UCSF scientists engineered old fibroblast cells to turn their genes on and off in the same way as young fibroblasts. The old ...

New Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center research reveals how dormant metastatic cancer cells protect themselves from the ...

PHILADELPHIA ­— Cancer cells’ quick moves may make them skilled escape artists. Some cancer cells appear to wriggle away from immune cells trying to gobble them up. These evasive maneuvers — caught on ...

Cancer immunotherapy transforms a patient’s immune cells into a “search‑and‑destroy” force against tumors. But many cancers learn to camouflage themselves from dendritic cells—the immune system’s ...

EPFL researchers have successfully engineered cells of the immune system to more effectively recognize cancer cells. The work, covered in two papers, turns the previously lab-based method into a ...

Researchers at the Keck School of Medicine of University of Southern California (USC) have developed a new type of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell that elicits a more controlled immune response ...

Dave Coulier recently revealed another cancer diagnosis, mere months after recovering from Stage 3 non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma back in April. The 66-year old “Full House” actor shared that he’s been ...

The research, published today in Nature Communications, focuses on how cancer cells keep their chromosomes intact so they can continue dividing relentlessly. Normally, every time a cell divides, the ...

A protein involved with cell death can be manipulated to slow or reverse tumor growth, a pair of new studies in mice found. A colorized three dimensional micrographic scan of a melanoma cell. Recent ...
