Chemotherapy drugs that target cancer cells without damaging normal cells remain one of the key goals of precision medicine ...

Researchers demonstrated that newly developed molecules designed to block an immune checkpoint can trigger a powerful immune response against tumors. Scientists at MIT and Stanford University have ...

IN THE POPULAR imagination, cancer starts with a mutation in the DNA of a normal cell. That mutation allows the cell to multiply uncontrollably, circumventing the body’s usual quality-control checks.

Scientists have found a new way to stop cancer growth without damaging healthy cells. Researchers from the Francis Crick Institute and Vividion Therapeutics discovered a compound that blocks the ...

Researchers uncovered a powerful weakness in lung cancer by shutting down a protein that helps tumors survive stress. When this protein, FSP1, was blocked, lung tumors in mice shrank dramatically, ...
