Nanotechnology repaves the path for cancer-fighting T cells

Vanderbilt researchers are bolstering the fight against cancer with technology that enhances the effectiveness of T cells that attack tumors. The cutting-edge research was recently published in the journal Science Immunology.

Drugs from the deep: scientists explore ocean frontiers

Some send divers in speed boats, others dispatch submersible robots to search the seafloor, and one team deploys a "mud missile"—all tools used by scientists to scour the world's oceans for the next potent cancer treatment ...

Transforming the way cancer vaccines are designed and made

A new way to significantly increase the potency of almost any vaccine has been developed by researchers from the International Institute for Nanotechnology (IIN) at Northwestern University. The scientists used chemistry and ...

Newly discovered process brings immune cells up to speed

Cancer cells use an unusual mechanism to migrate into new tissue and form metastases there. The same process probably also keeps some immune cells on their toes. This is the result of a recent study led by the University ...
