Cornell biomedical engineers have developed specialized white blood cells - dubbed "super natural killer cells" - that seek out cancer cells in lymph nodes with only one purpose: destroy them. This ...

Scientists at KAIST have found a way to turn a tumor’s own immune cells into powerful cancer fighters—right inside the body.

CAR T cell immunotherapy, which uses a patient’s own modified immune cells to find and destroy cancer cells, can produce dramatic results when treating blood cancers, such as lymphoma and leukemia, ...

Researchers at Duke University have shown that blocking an enzyme involved in iron regulation not only kills multiple myeloma cancer cells, but also increases the effectiveness of current therapies ...

He made a conceptual leap in immunotherapy by creating a hybrid T-cell, known as CAR-T, that was genetically modified to destroy cancer cells. By Richard Sandomir Zelig Eshhar, an immunologist whose ...
