A new study has identified an antibody that can supercharge the immune system, helping to overcome a previously unknown mechanism by which cancer cells prevent phagocytosis.

A promising new cancer therapy also appears extremely potent against one of the world’s most devastating infectious diseases: tuberculosis (TB). Scientists found the therapy dramatically reduces TB growth, even for bacteria that are drug-resistant.

A genomic tug of war for a gene activator could explain why some cancers respond to decitabine and others don't respond or become resistant over time.

A lesser-known DNA repair pathway that is upregulated in breast, ovarian and prostate cancer has been pieced together and laid out step by step in a new paper.

Macrophages, a type of white blood cell that can destroy invading pathogens, have an innate ability to infiltrate tumor cells, making them a potentially important tool in treatments that use transplanted cells to fight disease, known as cell therapy.

Researchers have identified the genetic changes that occur during pancreatic cancer metastasis and have found a drug to disrupt the process.

A study of newly created databases of medulloblastoma has found that patients with tumors containing circular extrachromosomal DNA are twice as likely to relapse and three times as likely to die within five years of diagnosis.

Disrupting one gene in CAR T cells used for cancer therapy makes them more potent and able to fight the cancer for longer, reports a new study.

A team of researchers has mapped the location and spatial features of blood-forming cells within human bone marrow, providing a powerful way to study diseases like sickle cell anaemia and leukemia.

Researchers have released a groundbreaking study identifying 4,749 key gene clusters, termed “prognostic modules,” that significantly influence the progression of 32 different types of cancer.
