Scientists unmask immune cells that supercharge the fight against cancer

A little‑known group of hard-to-find immune cells could help transform cancer treatment, scientists at the University of Manchester’s Cancer Research UK Manchester Institute, have found. Their discovery, published in Immunity, centres on activated dendritic cells, a specialised population of immune cells that orchestrate the body’s… Read More

Scientists redirect Covid-19 immune memory to fight cancer

Scientists have developed a novel cancer vaccine platform that transforms the synchronised mass immune memory generated through SARS-CoV-2 infection and vaccination into a powerful ally against cancer.  The study by scientists from Celloram, University Hospitals, and Case Western Reserve University was published in Nature Communications.

Dendritic cells found to organise cancer-fighting immune hubs 

Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have identified a specialised immune cell that builds and maintains powerful immune hubs inside tumours, a discovery that could help improve the effectiveness of cancer immunotherapies.  The findings, published in Science, show that dendritic cell type 1 is essential for… Read More
