So far, immune cells that have been engineered to kill cancers, known as CAR T-cells, haven’t worked well against solid ...

Cancer cells are known to reawaken embryonic genes to grow. A new study reveals the disease also hijacks the proteins, or "editors," that control how those genes are read.

The most widely used COVID-19 vaccines may offer a surprise benefit for some cancer patients – revving up their immune systems to help fight tumors.
