Immunologists Discover How Cancer Reprograms Immune Cells to Support Cancer Growth

Immunotherapy has emerged as a key weapon in the fight against cancer. However, nearly 80% of patients either don’t respond to these treatments or they become unresponsive after initially responding to the immunotherapy. The scientific community has been grappling with how to improve response rates, and a new study uncovering how cancer cells reprogram our immune cells to support cancer growth could provide a key. The study, whose findings were published in Science Immunology, was conducted by a team at the University of Texas at Dallas. The team found that cancer doesn’t just hide from immune cells. Rather, it actively reprograms the immune cells within the tumor microenvironment so that they become suppressed and cannot mount an attack against…

Study Uncovers Why the Risk of Breast Cancer Increases with Age

New research has mapped how breast tissues change as women age. The findings help to explain why breast cancer cases are higher in older women, and this could potentially help in finding new ways to fight this disease. The study, which appeared in Nature Aging, was conducted by a team from the UK-based University of Cambridge and the Canada-based University of British Columbia, and they created a map that covered at least 3 million breast tissue cells. This is the most extensive such map so far available. The map revealed how these breast tissues change as someone ages, and they found an especially notable shift coinciding with menopause. The study’s joint first…
