Immunotherapy is based on harnessing a person's own immune system to attack cancer cells. However, patients with certain tumors do not respond to these therapies and it remains unclear why.

Researchers from National Chung Cheng University (CCU) and National Cheng Kung University (NCKU) have identified a previously ...

Based on early studies, it was hypothesized that expression of Fas ligand (FasL) by tumor cells enabled them to counterattack the immune system, and that transplant rejection could be prevented by ...

Researchers from National Chung Cheng University (CCU) and National Cheng Kung University (NCKU) have identified a novel signaling mechanism in pancreatic cancer patients, knowledge of which might ...

Prof. MENG Guangxun's team from the Shanghai Institute of Immunity and Infection of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and collaborators, have revealed a novel mechanism whereby a short form of IL-18, ...

Pancreatic cancer patients may benefit from future precision treatments as a new study shows how some tumors may potentially ...

Researchers have developed a computer model to help scientists identify tumor-fighting immune cells in patients with lung cancer treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors.

Scientists have uncovered a mechanism for reinvigorating the immune system to stop it from flagging when it’s fighting ...

Scientists of the University Medical Center Göttingen (UMG) have identified new interactions between pancreatic cancer cells ...

A personalized neoantigen cancer vaccine generated strong immune responses in renal cell carcinoma patients, leading to ...
