Cancer’s “Master Switch” Blocked for Good in Landmark Study

Researchers discovered peptides that permanently block a key cancer protein once thought untreatable, using a new screening method to test their effectiveness inside cells. For the first time, scientists have identified promising drug candidates that irreversibly bind to a notoriously “undruggable” cancer protein, effectively and permanently disabling it. Transcription factors, proteins that act as master [...]

A study by the Melanoma Group of the National Center for Oncological Research (CNIO) has discovered a mechanism by which melanomas and other aggressive tumors prevent the immune system from recognizing and attacking them.

An international group of researchers has developed a new method that helps the immune system recognise and attack cancer cells. This new approach makes cancer cells “show themselves” to the immune system, helping the body fight against the disease. A researcher looking through a microscope. Representational image.

Scientists develop method to expose cancer cells to immune system

New Delhi: An international research group has developed a new method to help the immune system recognise and attack cancer cells by leading them to expose themselves. Researchers led by Israel’s Weizmann Institute of Science (WIS) said cancer cells typically evade detection by displaying very few suspicious proteins that the immune system can identify and target, Xinhua news agency reported. In the study published in the journal Cancer Cell, th…
