New technique could reveal immunotherapy targets, study finds
Anne Li Researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine and their colleagues have developed a way to pinpoint potential targets for cancer therapies that rely on the body’s immune system. Those targets are molecules…
Hunting for immune cells’ cancer targets
Anne Li By screening millions of molecular targets, researchers have uncovered a tumor beacon detected by the immune cells of two patients with colorectal cancer. The screening technology, developed by Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator…
A kiss of death for prostate cancer
Anne Li Hokkaido University researchers have uncovered a cellular protein that stabilizes a tumor promoting signaling pathway, suggesting a new target to treat prostate cancer. The drug Gefitinib is used to treat breast, lung, and…
Cancer overrides the circadian clock to survive
Anne Li Tumor cells use the unfolded protein response to alter circadian rhythm, which contributes to more tumor growth, researchers find. A key part of the the circadian clock opposes this process. For tumors to…
New understanding of why cancer cells move
Anne Li A University of Hawaii Cancer Center researcher has identified how some cancer cells are made to move during metastasis. The research provides a better understanding of how cancer spreads and may create new…
