John McCain was known as a tough fighter and patriot, refusing to yield to his captors’ torture while he was imprisoned as a POW. In the end, cancer claimed him. Researchers say progress is coming.
CAR-T is a powerful new immunotherapy for treating leukaemia. We need to build on it to attack other, harder-to-treat cancers.
Regulatory T cells help your immune system distinguish between ‘self’ and ‘nonself’ – and can open doors to better treatments for cancer, autoimmune disease and transplant rejection.
Applying the principles of ecology and evolution could help oncologists anticipate cancer drug resistance and optimize their treatment plans for patients.
Mistletoe may play a role in fighting cancer, when used alongside immunotherapies.
Hay fever symptoms will improve over time for most – but there are many things you can still do in the meantime to reduce hay fever severity.
Breast cancer cases can differ significantly. Treatment needs to follow the individual needs of the patient.
Genomics research is crucial to identify Africa-specific solutions to a range of diseases.
In a new study, a team of US scientists have used gene editing to change the genetic code of white blood cells and transform them into more efficient tumor fighting cells. How did they do it?
By tampering with the machinery which allows aggressive cancer cells to adapt, we can disrupt their ecosystem.
