Researchers explore the immune system to further understand cancer and illuminate therapy development.

In this webinar, Pinaki Bose and Fei Chen will discuss how scientists use spatial biology techniques to study the tumor microenvironment.

Researchers bolster antitumor immune defenses using cancer vaccines made from DNA origami.

Cancer vaccines offer the opportunity to use the patient’s own immune system in the fight against tumors.

Vaccination has beaten back infections for more than a century. Now, it may be the next big step in battling cancer.

A plant-based monoclonal antibody goes head-to-head with its commercial counterpart to target tumors in mice.

An expert panel will discuss the interplay between cancer and the immune system, and how researchers develop immunotherapies and other immune-supporting strategies against cancer. 

Next-generation sequencing (NGS) core facility scientists and researchers new to NGS discuss their fruitful collaborations, highlighting how to receive expert help from genomics facilities.

A genetic study tracked the evolution of two transmissible cancers currently ravaging populations of Tasmanian devils.

Sequencing circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) within liquid biopsies permits tumor identification and tracking. 

DNA sequencing can identify mutations that predict recurrence of renal cell carcinoma and may help low-risk patients avoid unnecessary treatment, a study finds.

Two studies find that tumor-specific antigens are often peptides that result from a splicing event between exons and transposable elements.

Research into how pancreatic tumors adapt to stress could lead to a new treatment approach.

Pathologist Peyton Rous made a groundbreaking discovery in the early 20th century, but his work wasn’t widely recognized until more than 40 years later. 

The extent to which transcription is higher in tumor cells than in surrounding nontumor cells is associated with bad prognoses in several cancer types.

This year’s crop of winning products features many with a clinical focus and others that represent significant advances in sequencing, single-cell analysis, and more.

Most differences in gene expression among cells within a tumor are likely due to environment or noise, a study suggests. 

Whether the finding of a novel mechanism for cancer-related pain can lead to better treatments for neuropathic pain in people remains to be seen.

It’s not clear whether, or how, the organisms might play a role in disease pathology.
