Researchers at the University of Sharjah are exploring a promising approach that could enhance the immune system's ability to ...

Skin cancers, lung cancers, lymphomas—though these cancers affect different parts of the body, they can all be treated with one of the latest therapies medicine has to offer: checkpoint inhibitors.

Checkpoint inhibitors are antibody-based cancer therapies that unlock the immune system’s natural ability to fight cancer. These treatments work by blocking special proteins called immune checkpoints, ...

A new comprehensive review reveals that harnessing natural killer (NK) cells by blocking their “off-switches” could significantly enhance cancer immunotherapy, providing new avenues for treating solid ...

Insilico Medicine has developed a new class of small molecule inhibitors targeting diacylglycerol kinase alpha (DGKα) designed to restore T cell function and overcome resistance to immune checkpoint ...

Yale researchers have uncovered a way to make a type of white blood cells known as natural killer cells — which kill infected, damaged, or malignant cells in the body — more effective against cancer.
