DOI: 10.1021/acsnano.5c21787 Researchers at Case Western Reserve University have discovered a way to breach one of cancer’s most stubborn defenses: the impenetrable fortress that solid tumors build around themselves. By injecting nanobubbles filled […]

Now it’s putting that claim to the test. After attracting global attention from researchers

Peer-Reviewed Publication Georgetown University Medical Center WASHINGTON – Georgetown University’s Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center researchers have identified a new way to reprogram T cells, which are infection and tumor-fighting white blood cells, so that they have a superior memory, thereby making them more effective in killing cancer cells. The finding, published January 12, 2026, in Nature Immunology,

Posted Today Researchers at MIT and Stanford University have developed a new way to stimulate the immune system to attack tumor cells, using a strategy that could make cancer immunotherapy work for many more patients. Researchers showed they could stimulate a strong anti-tumor immune response by using molecules called AbLecs, represented here in the center, that block an
