Messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines may be the hottest thing in science now, as they helped turn the tide against COVID-19.

New therapeutic approach prevents the growth of metastatic tumors by forcing cancer cells into a dormant state where they can't proliferate.

The 'game-changing' treatment used different human immune cells known as natural killer (NK) cells—with dramatic results.

Cancer occurs when cells grow uncontrollably and spread to other organs in the body. Cancer cells differ from normal cells in many ways.

Treatment for lung cancer has improved in recent years — and a new Edith Cowan University study has found how to make it even more effective

Doctors in the UK hope that thousands of men with prostate cancer could be cured through an innovative hour-long operation.

As a part of our immune defences, cytotoxic T cells – or killer T cells – seek out and destroy cells that are infected or cancerous.

Scientists have discovered a rare gene in the tumors of some colorectal cancer patients which could lead to more accurate diagnoses.

The results of this study are in stark contrast to anything we’ve seen before in pancreatic cancer, said Ben Stanger, MD, PhD.

New study challenges existing ideas of how buildup of a protein called amyloid beta (Aβ) in the brain is related to Alzheimer’s disease.

Activating the immune system at the site of a tumor can recruit and stimulate immune cells to destroy tumor cells.

RNA, the molecule that gave rise to life, has been shown to be essential for repairing human genetic material and preventing mutations

New study shows a major preventive effect from resistant starch, found in a range of foods such as oats and slightly green bananas.

Cigarette smoking is overwhelmingly the main cause of lung cancer, yet only a minority of smokers develop the disease.

A drug that spurs programmed cell death in cancer cells, found only minor side effects in patients with end-stage cancers.

The drug trial focused on patients with end stage melanoma whose cancers had become resistant to frontline immunotherapy treatment.

Approved by the FDA, the saliva test can detect early symptoms of oral and throat cancer with more than 90 percent accuracy.

The key to mRNA vaccines appears to be proteins in the pancreatic tumors, which alert the immune system to keep the cancer at bay.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the targeted imaging agent Cytalux (pafolacianine) for use in lung cancer surgery.

The 'game-changing' treatment used different human immune cells known as natural killer (NK) cells—with dramatic results.
