The promising new treatment builds on research that went into developing COVID vaccines.
Cancers can’t develop without genetic mutations — or can they?
“Having more stem cell activity is good for regeneration, but too much of a good thing over time can have less favorable consequences.”
They call it “Judo T-cell therapy,” and it’s 100 times more potent than regular CAR-T cells.
Some go gently into the night. Others die less prettily in freak accidents or deadly invasions, or after a showy display.
The evidence that pollution causes cancer is weak. Lifestyle factors, like smoking, obesity, and alcohol, matter far more.
Cancer cells hoard iron in unusually high quantities. Scientists have discovered how to leverage this to create safer cancer drugs.
More than 90% of sexually active men will be infected with human papillomavirus in their lifetime. The virus may reduce fertility.
Cancer likes glucose. So take it away.
It could lead to earlier diagnoses, better treatment, and fewer deaths from pancreatic cancer, which kills 88% of patients within five years.
Positron emission tomography (PET) scans use positrons — the antimatter equivalent of an electron — to locate cancer in the body.
Unless you’re drinking a dozen diet sodas per day, you have nothing to worry about — and maybe not even then.
A new study provides the first proof-of-principle that genetic material transferred from one species to another can increase both longevity and healthspan in the recipient animal.
A study of spinal development took a strange turn and made a surprise discovery.
What if AI could tell us we have cancer before we show a single symptom? Steve Quake, head of science at the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, explains how AI can revolutionize science.

Scientists are finding tumor signals in spit that could be key to developing diagnostic tests for various types of cancer.
Epigenetic entropy shows that you can’t fully understand cancer without mathematics.
“The only options left were experimental approaches in clinical trials.”
CRISPR, stem cells, and even cancer drugs are helping shape an AIDS-free future.
The miniaturization of particle accelerators could disrupt medical science.
Scientists are working to map out the risks of the permafrost thaw, which could expose millions of people to the invisible cancer-causing gas.
Dennis Klatt developed trailblazing text-to-speech systems before losing his own voice to cancer.
To put things in perspective, the cost of sequencing a single genome in 2012 was around $10,000.
People with higher immune resilience live longer, resist diseases, and are more likely to survive diseases when they do develop.
Rapamycin is potentially the most powerful anti-aging drug ever discovered. However, due to its unlucky history, few know of it.
Sometimes you just want to hear, “I know what it’s like.”
“Rational vaccinology” could lead to effective cancer vaccines.
Of the millions of substances people encounter daily, health researchers have focused on only a few hundred. Those in the emerging field of exposomics want to change that.
