Researchers Say Cancer Immunotherapy Could Get a Boost from Reinvigorating Extremely Exhausted T Cells
The thinking used to be that when T cells get exhausted to a certain degree they become practically useless and nothing can be done to salvage them. But new …
Inhibiting the Enzyme G6PD Destroys Metastatic Ovarian Cancer Cells in the Omentum
A team from the Los Angeles-based Terasaki Institute for Biomedical Innovation has identified the key role of a metabolic enzyme in ovarian cancer metastasis. The enzyme, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD), …Trial Shows That Resistant Starch May Reduce Hereditary Cancer Risk
An international trial led by researchers at Newcastle University and the University of Leeds has shown that adding a starch supplement to the diet can help to reduce the …
