CAR T cell therapy, the breakthrough method of supercharging patients' T cells in the lab to attack cancer when re-infused, has worked more effectively against cancers of the blood than solid tumors.
Immunobiologists in China have designed a synthetic T cell receptor for anticancer therapy, engineering the protein not only with a capability to seek and destroy solid tumors, but endowing this cancer fighting weapon with ...
(Medical Xpress)—In the realm of DNA sequencing, the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) is a well-established tool for amplifying a specific DNA sequence by reiteratively processing what's known as a reaction cocktail between ...
Medical investigators are theorizing that a combination of two treatments that activate myeloid cells may effectively treat a recalcitrant form of pancreatic cancer that thwarts conventional immunotherapy.
Despite decades of research and tens of billions of dollars for research and treatments worldwide, the battle against cancer continues.
A team of MUSC Hollings Cancer Center researchers has discovered one way in which triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells become resistant to immunotherapy and have tested a two-pronged treatment strategy that was able ...
