New strategy could improve performance of some immune-based drugs MIT researchers have devised a way to make tumor cells more susceptible to certain types of cancer treatment by coating the cells with nanoparticles before delivering drugs. By tethering hundreds of tiny particles to the surfaces of tumor cells in the presence of a mechanical force,...

The way you move: Tumor cells move differently than normal ones
This is a microscopic image of a tumor cell migrating through collagen. What makes cancer so deadly is its ability to move . The better that doctors can keep tumors contained and protect unaffected organs in the body, the less lethal a cancer will be. So if doctors were able to pinpoint tumor cells and...

Researchers develop novel treatment to prevent graft-versus-host-disease
Dual inhibition of Aurora kinase A and JAK2 reduces graft-versus-host-disease, preserves the ability of the immune system to fight infections and tumor cells. Graft-versus-host-disease (GVHD) is the leading cause of non-relapse associated death in patients who receive stem cell transplants. In a new study published as the cover story in Science Translational Medicine, Moffitt Cancer...
