Scientists have uncovered a sweet twist in the body’s fight against cancer. Glucose, best known as the fuel that powers our cells, also helps immune cells called T cells communicate and organize their ...

Scientists have discovered that electrical currents may make Natural Killer (NK) cells -- our very own cancer-killing immune cells -- even better killers, which could have significant implications for ...

Cancer cells thrive in an environment deprived of oxygen and nutrients, adapting to survive and grow. Unlike normal cells, ...

Nine of the 10 most common cancer deaths in Australia are caused by solid tumours, but in most cases it’s the cancer’s spread to other parts of the body – known as metastasis – that proves fatal. Now, ...

For cancer- and infection-fighting T cells, glucose offers far more than a simple sugar rush. A new discovery by Van Andel Institute scientists reveals that glucose, an essential cellular fuel that ...

Working with the same tumor slices that pathologists use to diagnose and guide treatment of patients, however, Carstens can ...

Cancer cells work together to source nutrients from their environment—a cooperative process that was previously overlooked by scientists but may be a promising target for treating cancer. Scientists ...

Ferroptosis, a regulated cell death mechanism, is emerging as a promising target for cancer therapy. The process is mediated by the activity of acyl-CoA synthetase family member 4 (ACSL4) protein.

In Singapore, one biotech company is changing how we approach cancer treatment. CytoMed Therapeutics (NASDAQ: GDTC), just launched its ANGELICA clinical trial, to fundamentally change how we make ...
