Scientists have developed a new approach to immunological tumor treatment. Their method is based on the specific blockade of an immune checkpoint by a stable "mirror-image" peptide.

A unique nanoparticle to deliver a localized cancer treatment inhibits tumor growth in mice, according to new research conducted at Penn State University.

Researchers have discovered genetic “dial” to control regulatory T cells, a finding that could have implications for cancer and autoimmune disease treatment.

An over-abundance of the protein PRC1, which is essential to cell division, is a telltale sign in many cancer types. Researchers now show that PRC1 acts as a “glue” during cell division, precisely controlling the speed at which two sets of DNA are separated as a cell divides.

Scientists have discovered that they can halt the growth of pancreatic cancer cells by interfering with the way the cells store cholesterol.

Researchers have discovered a key protein called ∆Np63 that oscillates its expression through microRNA regulation to facilitate the spread of cancer to distant sites within the body.

Naked mole-rats can live for an incredibly long time and have an exceptional resistance to cancer thanks to unique conditions in their bodies that stop cancer cells multiplying.

Madison researchers have developed a safer and more efficient way to deliver a promising new method for treating cancer and liver disorders and for vaccination.

Breast cancer patients who are overweight or obese might benefit less from treatment with a common chemotherapy drug, called docetaxel.

Scientists at The Institute of Cancer Research have uncovered new information about vital structures inside cells which are responsible for organizing our DNA.
