A common feature of cancer cells is a genetic mistake called chromosomal instability. Entire chromosomes may end up outside the nucleus (blue) and spill DNA (green) into the cell’s cytoplasm. This ...

New mechanism allowing tumor cells to escape immune surveillance discovered. ScienceDaily . Retrieved April 11, 2025 from www.sciencedaily.com / releases / 2014 / 03 / 140318111319.htm ...

Researchers at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine report that tumor cells use stress signals to subvert responding immune cells, exploiting them to actually boost ...

Our immune system is constantly monitoring our body. In order to survive, cancer cells need to evade this surveillance. Now a new study by researchers at the Netherlands Cancer Institute reveals a ...

Cancer plasticity allows tumor cells to change their identity, evade therapies, and adapt to environmental pressures, contributing to treatment resistance and metastasis. New research is targeting ...

New findings reveal how immune cells turn off killer T cells, pointing to new drug targets that can improve the success of cancer immunotherapy. New research from the University of Pittsburgh ...

A new research study from scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Harvard Medical School, and elsewhere explains one of the mechanisms that ...

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.

Once the immune cells engulf the tumor, the toxin is released inside, becoming activated and creating pathways that allow tumor DNA and protein fragments, which are usually destroyed, to escape.

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and collaborating institutions have identified a strategy cancerous tumors use to remotely disrupt the development of an immune response that could stop their ...
