A new class of microscopic machines is moving from theory into reality, and it could change how diseases are treated and how ...

Antibodies are like "guided missiles" that find and attack cancer cells, but cancer-causing mutations inside cells have ...

Researchers at the University of Illinois Chicago have identified a molecular switch that helps determine whether cancer ...

A new lipid nanoparticle platform delivers full-length antibodies inside cells, unlocking intracellular targets in cancer, ...

Potent drugs like chemotherapy can be life-saving, but often with life-threatening side effects. Notably, they can be indiscriminate, killing both cancer cells and healthy cells in one swoop.

Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have developed a first-of-its-kind mRNA system that switches on therapeutic genes preferentially inside targeted cells—an advance ...

MIT and Harvard scientists have designed an advanced type of immune cell called a CAR-NK cell that can destroy cancer while avoiding attack from the body’s own immune defenses. This innovation could ...

A first-in-class nanoparticle injection sneaks antibodies into pancreatic cancer cells to clear mutant KRAS, shrinking tumors in mice while sparing healthy tissue.

The body’s “killer” T cells don’t just attack—they strike with astonishing precision, forming a tiny, highly organized contact zone that lets them destroy dangerous cells without harming their ...
