New research from the University of Minnesota Medical School has identified fatty acids that selectively induce death in ...

Pancreatic cancer continues to pose one of the greatest challenges in global cancer treatment. Known for its aggressive nature and resistance to therapy, it carries a grim five-year survival rate of ...

T cells are incredible. They detect foreign or abnormal proteins with remarkable specificity. Some directly kill cells containing these proteins while others call to additional components of the ...

They are called “Natural Killer” (NK) cells for a reason. These cytotoxic lymphocytes, a part of innate immunity, are the body’s cellular “boots on the ground,” capable of swiftly and ferociously ...

Since scientists first discovered that human immune cells could be modified to become cancer-fighting agents, they've been trying to engineer a cell that's effective against solid tumors, which ...

In a recent Science article, researchers unveiled a method to kill cancer cells by sticking two proteins together to activate a gene that signals for cell death. This new method is helpful for ...

Can you describe the work you’re leading at Catamaran Bio? We are creating off-the-shelf engineered allogeneic CAR-NK cell therapies for solid tumors. I lead the strategy to leverage our TAILWIND ...

Natural killer (NK) cells are the bodyguards of our immune system. As a first line of defense, they destroy invading pathogens, foreign bodies, and infected cells in early stages, thereby preventing ...

In recent years, scientists have discovered that some chemotherapy drugs not only kill cancer cells directly, but at least in some patients, mysteriously also trigger their immune system to attack the ...
