Cancer scientists have been working against the clock for decades to outsmart a disease that comes back more powerfully after treatment. Traditional treatments like chemotherapy, radiation, and even ...

In a first-of-its-kind clinical trial, UCLA scientists have shown it's possible to reprogram a patient's blood-forming stem cells to generate a continuous supply of functional T cells, the immune ...

An enduring challenge for the study of human cancer is just how complex it is: how many different ways there are for cancers to originate, progress, and spread in the people who are diagnosed with ...

Scientists from A*STAR Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology (A*STAR IMCB) have identified the specific cells responsible for gastric cancer's tendency to return after treatment. The study also ...

Immunotherapy has revolutionized cancer care by training the immune system to detect and destroy tumors. For many patients, it works very well in shrinking tumors and sending cancer into remission, an ...

Scientists at University of California, San Diego (UCSD), have developed a new approach to destroying cancer stem cells (CSCs)—the hard-to-find cells that help cancers spread, come back after ...

In a first-of-its-kind clinical trial, UCLA scientists have shown it's possible to reprogram a patient's blood-forming stem cells to generate a continuous supply of functional T cells, the immune ...

Trudy Oliver, professor of pharmacology and cancer biology, is part of a team of scientists that recently published a study uncovering a major shift in how scientists understand small-cell lung cancer ...

Your skin is in a constant state of reinvention. Every month, your body sheds and regenerates its entire outer layer—a complete turnover powered by tiny, tireless stem cells. These same cells spring ...

A new cancer treatment discovered by the University of California, San Diego Sanford Stem Cell Institute (SSCI) and developed by Aspera Biomedicines will undergo testing in outer space this spring — ...
