Cancer cells are pretty bold and clever—they hijack cellular survival and healing processes in order to fuel their growth, spread throughout the body, and ensure their own survival. The unfolded ...

In a world-first breakthrough, scientists have discovered how a sugary “cloak” helps bowel cancer hide from the immune system, and how stripping it away could turn the body’s anti-cancer defenses back ...

Immunotherapy has revolutionized cancer care by training the immune system to detect and destroy tumors. For many patients, it works very well in shrinking tumors and sending cancer into remission, an ...

Cancer has a talent for hiding in plain sight, cloaking itself in sugary molecules that convince the immune system to stand down. Researchers at MIT and Stanford have now engineered a way to rip away ...

UCLA scientists have developed a next-generation CAR-T cell therapy that can overcome the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment, a protective shield that tumors use to weaken immune cells, block ...

Graphical abstract. Credit: Cancer Cell (2026). DOI: 10.1016/j.ccell.2025.12.021 Scientists at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have developed an experimental immunotherapy that takes an ...

Scientists at MIT and Stanford have unveiled a promising new way to help the immune system recognize and attack cancer cells more effectively. Their strategy targets a hidden “off switch” that tumors ...
