The immune system is the body’s first line of defense when it comes to fighting cancerous cells. It can identify and attack the smallest of threats before they become a danger, and distinguish tumor ...

The field of cancer immunology has witnessed dramatic progress with the advent of immunotherapies targeting the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME).

A novel tumor suppressor, BATF2, can be silenced by factors in the tumor microenvironment, leading to a reduced immune response in five preclinical models of head and neck cancer, according to ...

A research paper by scientists from Beijing Institute of Technology investigated the anti-tumor effect of millimeter waves ...

BATF2 is a new type of tumor suppressor that can be epigenetically silenced by high levels of glutamine in the tumor microenvironment Glutamine silences BATF2 and leads to a weakened immune response ...

Cancer cells don’t exist in isolation – instead, they live within a complex ecosystem that also includes immune cells, stromal cells, the extracellular matrix, blood vessels and many other factors.

When we think of a tumor, we tend to think of the cancerous cells themselves, rogue agents fueled by a mindless collection of mutations that spur uncontrolled growth and division. But cancer is not ...

The hair follicle is a highly dynamic mini-organ that undergoes cyclic phases of growth, regression, and rest. The anagen ...

Chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cell therapy has revolutionized hematologic cancer treatment, but its efficacy in solid tumors remains limited by poor infiltration into the complex tumor ...
