Tumour biology

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute have identified a protein that helps tumours evade the immune system and, in certain types of cancers, is linked to a poorer chance of survival. The protein could become a target for future cancer treatments. A crucial part of the immune system’s response to cancer is a group of […]

The FDA also granted orphan drug designation to allogeneic Vδ1 γδ T cell therapy (GDX012) […]

By Mette Lauritzen PhD, Product Marketing Manager, Nuclear Molecular Imaging, Bruker BioSpin Different types of tumours, and their varying reactions to treatment, make the search for new effective cancer therapies incredibly challenging. Preclinical in vivo imaging methods are helping to obtain further knowledge of tumour morphology, progression, and biomarker expression by enabling the visualisation of […]
