Tumours have developed many strategies and tricks to gain advantages in the body. Led by cell biology professor Sabine Werner, researchers at ETH Zurich have now discovered another surprising trick ...

Scientists have uncovered an unexpected reason why some cancers return after initially responding to treatment.

A protein made by stressed cancer cells helps lung and pancreatic tumors evade the immune system, a new study shows.

Scientists report landmark "evolutionary double-bind" strategy to overcome treatment resistance in prostate cancer.

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 ...

Cancer cells can brainwash their neighbors. Like the CIA deploying secret agents to turn an enemy, tumors use a similar strategy to manipulate nearby cells. The tumors’ agents are mitochondria, the ...

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, ...
