There's no question that tumor cells are notoriously skilled masters of immune disguise and, in many ways, real-life versions of what it's like hiding under the fictional invisibility cloak highlighted in the Harry Potter ...
The present variants of cancer immunotherapy such as immune checkpoint blockades only benefit a small subset of patients due to its immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. The capacity to vaccinate tumors and reduce immunosuppression ...
Scientists have designed an AI tool that can rapidly decode a brain tumor's DNA to determine its molecular identity during surgery—critical information that under the current approach can take a few days and up to a few ...

Immunology research led by Harvard Medical School has taken a closer look at the role of B-cells in fighting cancer. In a paper, "B-cell-specific checkpoint molecules that regulate anti-tumor immunity," published in Nature, ...
A group of researchers led by the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Boston, has illustrated the mechanistic pathway for PTEN-deficient breast cancer and successfully tested a method of countering the downstream effects of immune ...
Researchers have uncovered that some childhood cancers have a substantially higher number of DNA changes than previously thought, changing the way we view children's tumors and possibly opening up new or repurposed treatment ...
