Scientists studying a hard-to-treat form of blood cancer called acute myeloid leukemia (AML) have found that a type of treatment—immunotherapy—may help change the environment where cancer cells live, possibly helping the immune system respond more effe…
New designer proteins created using an AI tool can selectively target peptide segments that bind to markers on diseased cancer cells, acting like molecular flags that signal immune cells to attack and destroy the threats.
A team headed by Claude Perreault, Director of IRIC’s Immunobiology Research Unit and Professor at the Faculty of Medicine at Université de Montréal, has identified novel tumor antigens that could lead to the development of vaccines for the treatment o…
Head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC) are a group of cancers that affect cells in and around our mouth and nose. With 890,000 new cases and 450,000 deaths annually, HNSCC accounts for roughly 4.5% of cancer diagnoses and deaths worldwide.
UCSF researchers have found that certain antiviral genes become less active over time in lupus, revealing why some patients see their symptoms fade as they age.
The targeted drug olutasidenib is highly effective in certain patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), a condition considered incurable without transplantation, according to a new clinical study led by researchers at Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer…
Green tea and red wine may seem like simple dietary choices—but beneath the surface, they harbor compounds with remarkable medical potential. Scientists are uncovering how these everyday drinks might support cancer treatment, not by replacing conventio…
A Northeastern University researcher has identified a way to target two of the deadliest cancer types, melanoma and triple negative breast cancer, with chemotherapy drugs but without the harms associated with chemotherapy.
Researchers have discovered a way to make the immune system’s T cells significantly more effective at fighting cancer. By blocking a protein called Ant2, they were able to reprogram how these cells consume and generate energy—essentially rewiring their…
In Alzheimer’s disease, proteins like amyloid beta form clumps, known as plaques, that damage the brain.
