Telomere damage drives T cell exhaustion. Antioxidants restored their cancer-fighting strength in mice. Tumor environments place heavy stress on immune cells that fight cancer. Limited oxygen, ...

Tumors are stressful places for cancer-fighting immune cells. Low oxygen, high acid levels, and other stressors put strain on ...

New research published in Immunity by researchers at the University of Pittsburgh found that, in mice, the toxic tumor environment causes mitochondria to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) that ...

Mitochondria act as energy factories in cells and have their own, separate DNA. Mutations to mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) have ...

Scientists have just taken the most detailed look yet at the biology of a record-breaking human life, profiling a woman who ...

VIB researchers and colleagues have discovered a mechanism through which melanoma cells adapt and switch between two major ...

While chemotherapy remains a cornerstone of lung cancer treatment, it often weakens the immune system it relies on for long-term control. Now, researchers have found a way to turn this weakness into ...
