The field of cancer research has increasingly focused on the metabolic underpinnings of tumorigenesis, recognizing how the reprogramming of cellular energy ...

Researchers have found a reliable way to grow helper T cells from stem cells, solving a major challenge in immune-based ...

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 ...

Researchers at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center and its Bloomberg~Kimmel Institute for Cancer Immunotherapy found that an oral bacterium commonly associated with periodontal disease can promote ...

Why do some tumours spread while others remain localised? The mechanisms governing the metastatic potential of tumour cells remain largely unknown — yet understanding this is crucial for optimising ...

Although the respiratory system is one of the main entry points for microplastics and nanoplastics (MNPs) from the air into the body, little is known about the effects of these tiny particles on the ...

We owe a lot to tissue resident memory T cells (T RM). These specialized immune cells are among the body's first responders to disease. Rather than coursing through the bloodstream-as many T cells ...

Circulating tumor cells were first described in 1869 by Thomas Ashworth, an Australian pathologist who observed them in a peripheral blood sample taken from a patient with metastatic cancer. 1 They ...

Dr Mandeep Singh Malhotra explores how cancer metabolism, dietary interventions, and holistic approaches may support ...
