New research reveals how a class of neurons that help coordinate communication in the brain link up with their target cells, ...

Cancer cells have softer membranes than healthy cells. New nanoparticles exploit this physical difference to fuse selectively ...

Drug-delivering aptamers that can precisely target leukemia stem cells with enhanced potency have been developed. Delivering anticancer drugs with specificity and potency to cancer stem cells is an ...

CAR T cells have made headlines for their ability to fight hematological cancers, but they have proven largely ineffective ...

The immune system is comprised of two separate active arms of immunity to provide robust protection against disease. The two separate systems of immunity include the innate and adaptive immune ...

A new study published in Nanotechnology offers new hope for less harmful breast cancer therapy by combining two powerful, non-invasive cancer treatments. Initial findings suggest that these two ...

A new method can produce specially designed proteins that can arm T cells to attack cancer cells. Precision personalized cancer treatment on a larger scale has come a step closer after researchers ...

In multiple myeloma, plasma cells proliferate uncontrollably in the bone marrow, disrupting the growth of healthy blood-forming cells. If the disease recurs after treatment or fails to respond, CAR ...

MIT and Harvard scientists have designed an advanced type of immune cell called a CAR-NK cell that can destroy cancer while avoiding attack from the body’s own immune defenses. This innovation could ...
